Listen now
Description
Namibia will host the global 2021 World Press Freedom Day celebration which also marks the 30th anniversary of the 1991 Windhoek Declaration on a Free, Pluralistic and Independent African Press. How does press freedom affect young people and why should they care when this freedom comes under attack? This time around youthful Jessica Uiras and Juno Angula pose questions about this and related topics to our usual #FreeSpeak host Gwen Lister, iconic journalist who is often referred to as the mother of the Windhoek Declaration. Lister chaired the plenary session on May 3, 1991, that scripted the Declaration.
