Freedom of media and speech.
Everyone has the right to express his or her opinion and to receive every type of information, as well as to have access to different ideas, knowledge and opinions. Freedom of media is an essential part of this right, as it provides access to diverse and reliable information and to necessary debates.

In turn, one of the preconditions for media freedom is the protection of journalists. It is often journalists who expose corruption, human rights abuses and other socially important or painful issues. Therefore, journalists should be able to do their work without risk to their freedom, life and health. The protection of journalists helps to ensure an independent and comprehensive press and encourages people to express their opinions publicly.
