JAKARTA - After commemorating National Press Day (HPN) on February 9, Indonesian press members met again with the next momentum which also became an important foundation for the development of the press. Namely World Press Freedom Day (HKPS) or World Press Freedom Day, which is commemorated on May 3, 2022. The Declaration of Windhoek, Namibia which was held on May 3, 1991 became a milestone in the history of HKPS. The UN General Assembly based on the recommendation of UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) then declared HKPS in December 1993. This is an important affirmation of the international community for press freedom on earth. The biggest challenge for our press today, said Hendry Ch Bangun, is to improve the competence of journalists.
