Resumen
KHODR, Cherin El. The Extent of Journalistic Freedom of Expression under the European Convention on Human Rights. Ñawi [online]. 2022, vol.6, n.1, pp.227-238. ISSN 2588-0934. https://doi.org/10.37785/nw.v6n1.a12.
Journalistic freedom of expression is essential for the dissemination of information as the media forms a platform for public debate necessary for a democratic society. Journalism at its best, acting in due diligence and ensuring the accuracy of gathered information in accordance with the principles and ethics of journalism, is a critical component for democracy, human rights, and the rule of law. Journalistic freedom helps curb corruption by granting society access to information thereby illuminating and exposing those engaged in corrupt activities. When broadcasts of grave human rights violations occur, it educates people about their rights and creates an instrument for the amplification of their voices. In addition, journalism uses documentary evidence as a means of communication and thus is also part of an advocacy drive of the media toward empowering people whose stories and messages might otherwise not be heard.
