National Press Day
National Press Day, observed annually on November 16, commemorates the establishment of the Press Council of India (PCI) in 1966. This day underscores the press’s critical role as the "fourth pillar of democracy," fostering transparency and accountability. The 2024 theme, "Changing Nature of the Press," reflects evolving media landscapes, emphasizing the adaptation to digital changes while maintaining journalistic ethics. Challenges like misinformation and safety threats are prominent concerns. Celebrations at Delhi’s National Media Centre include discussions on press integrity, attended by Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw. The day promotes the PCI’s mission to protect press freedom and uphold media standards.
