World Press Freedom Day 2015

From the 2nd to the 3rd of May, about 250 journalists and media stakeholders seized the World Press Freedom Day in Morogoro as an opportunity to take a stand against the increasing restrictions on the freedom of opinion and expression as well as the press freedom in Tanzania. The event, which in this year was co-organised by KAS, addressed the topic “Media Safety in the Digital Age: Better Reporting, Gender Equality & Privacy“. In the context of the restrictive media acts that were recently passed by the National Assembly, the event gained much importance as well as attention.
