World News Day on September 28 highlights journalism's essential role in providing facts and clarity. Long professional experience across nearly fifty years has been characterized by exposure to a free and independent press in the United States. The professional start in the 1970s coincided with a period when Americans could clearly observe the press serving democracy by informing the public and holding power to account. Transparent, investigative reporting during that era demonstrated how journalism can illuminate public affairs and influence civic life. A WhatsApp channel is offered as a means to receive ongoing news updates.
