International Journalist Day observance

Overview

International Journalist Day, observed on September 8, commemorates the legacy of Czechoslovakian journalist Julius Fučík, who was executed by the Nazi regime in 1943. The date serves as a global platform to defend freedom of expression and recognize the social function of journalism.

In Mexico, the National Human Rights Commission (CNDH) has used the occasion to highlight the public’s right to information and the importance of freedom of expression.

In Spain, professional and union organizations issued a manifesto to defend the profession. The document specifically condemns the harassment, threats, and physical aggression faced by media professionals, rejecting the use of rhetoric by political figures that labels journalists as adversaries or ‘terrorists’.
