UNESCO Media & Information Literacy

AI can be useful - but it’s not always right. Before trusting a machine, double-check with real sources, real experts… real people. Because when AI makes mistakes, stay media literate. 👉 bit.ly/3WxNcUh #GlobalMILWeek

Congratulations to the Sudanese Journalists Syndicate for the UNESCO/Guillermo Cano World Press Freedom Prize. Their collective commitment to journalism under extreme conditions is a powerful testament to courage and determination.

Journalism shapes peace. Access to reliable, verified information is not optional; it is fundamental to building peaceful, just and resilient societies. When information is manipulated, it fuels division and erodes trust. When it is free and truthful, it strengthens accountability, fosters dialogue and upholds human rights. On #WorldPressFreedomDay, @UNESCO calls for the protection of freedom of expression and support for journalism as a pillar of peace. unesco.org/en/days/press-…
