Quality and objectivity matter - Celebrate World News Day along with 150 newsrooms

The critical role that journalism and professional newsrooms play in helping citizens make sense of the world is the message behind Monday’s World News Day. Driven by the Canadian Journalism Foundation and the World Editors Forum, World News Day will be marked in more than 150 newsrooms across the globe.

“At a time when so much has been turned on its head, this much has become clear: Real news matters. The truth matters. Objectivity matters. Balance and fairness matter. In short, quality journalism matters.” – Warren Fernandez, president of the World Editors Forum.

Two op-ed pieces are being made available for publication on Monday, written by Warren Fernandez, president of the World Editors Forum and editor in chief of the Straits Times, Singapore, and David Walmsley, editor in chief of the Globe and Mail, Canada.
