The United Nations General Assembly declared May 3 to be World Press Freedom Day or just World Press Day,

It is observed to raise awareness of the importance of freedom of the press and remind governments of their duty to respect and uphold the right to freedom of expression enshrined under Article 19 of the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

It also serves as a reminder for everyone that being a journalist is not an easy task.
