The free press matters more than ever, and good journalism serves as a mirror in which we can reflect on the good, the bad, and the true: Biden

The free press matters more than ever, and good journalism serves as a mirror in which we can reflect on the good, the bad, and the true. That was the message delivered by US President Joe Biden at the annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner, which honours distinguished journalists from print and broadcast media for their coverage of the White House.

“At home, a poison is running through our democracy of all – all of this taking place with disinformation massively on the rise, where the truth is buried by lies and the lies live on as truth. What’s clear – and I mean this from the bottom of my heart – that you, the free press, matter more than you ever did in the last century. No, I really mean it,” says Biden.

Biden adds, “We honour journalists killed, missing, imprisoned, detained, and tortured; covering war, exposing corruption, and holding leaders accountable. We honour members of the press, both national and local, covering a once-in-a-century pandemic where we lost a million Americans, a generation reckoning on race, and the existential threat of climate change. The free press is not the enemy of the people – far from it. At your best, you’re guardians of the truth.

He also highlighted restrictions imposed on journalists working in Russia who face up to 15 years’ imprisonment if they report on details of the war in Ukraine that run counter to the government’s narrative of a ‘special military operation’.
