\u201cDear journalists and workers in press and media,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am delighted to wish you a happy World Press Freedom Day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is only appropriate to extend my deepest gratitude to You, the media workers who have been working in heightened preparedness along with the emergency, law enforcement and healthcare personnel and making invaluable contribution to ensuring social safety through providing reliable news coverage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I rely on Your ability to be mindful and speculative as You\ncommunicate confirmed and reliable information to the public, while You keep in\nmind that the pandemic and the challenges that follow are not a field of\ncompetition.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this message, the President also marked his efforts in the\npast towards protecting media workers from being charged with criminal offense.\nHe continued to address the situation where political authorities have\ndifferent opinions on the legal statuses of professional unions of press and\nmedia as the situation has been slowing down the process of consolidating press\nfreedom in Mongolia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
President Battulga remarked \u201cAs a citizen is represented by a political representative to the Government, the right to information is exercised through journalists. As such, I have been viewing the passage of Press Freedom Law not only as a matter of press and media, but a matter of the society\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Concluding the message,\nthe President once again extended greetings on the World Press Freedom Day and\nwished the press and media success for the great deeds of enlightening the\npeople. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"date":"2020-05-03T12:37:49","excerpt":{"rendered":"
