DOHA: Doha Centre for Media Freedom (DCMF) will hold a seminar on the right to access information, at its headquarters tomorrow. Local journalists, experts and lawyers will highlight the importance of ensuring the right to access information and its challenges at the event titled ‘Right to access to information: Legal framework and challenges’.
It is in line with this year’s Unesco’s World Press Freedom Day’s theme ‘Access to information and fundamental freedoms: This is your right’. It will focus on the safety of journalists and access to information in three main areas — the right to media freedom as a fundamental human right; protecting media from censorship and excessive surveillance; and ensuring the safety of journalists working online and offline.
The right of access to information is one of the most important pillars for sustainable development and an essential tool to advance dialogue on the subject.
