News organizations must remain relevant to the public or society will struggle, the organiser of World News Day has warned, according to the BBC.
World News Day is an initiative designed to highlight the role that news providers play in investigating and explaining important events, at a time when trust in media and the business models supporting journalism face ongoing pressure.
The organiser's comments underscore concerns within the industry about maintaining public engagement with credible news sources amid a fragmented media landscape, where audiences increasingly encounter information through a wide range of platforms beyond traditional outlets.
The initiative seeks to draw attention to the work journalists do in verifying facts and providing context on complex issues, framing this function as essential to a well-informed public and, by extension, to the functioning of society more broadly.
Details of specific events or activities planned to mark World News Day were not specified in the initial report.
