South Asia: Why is press freedom important for democracy?
To commemorate World Press Freedom Day 2022, members of the South Asia Editors’ Circle, a group of editors from top online and print outlets across South Asia, tell us why freedom of the press is essential for democracy.

A world without press freedom is a lesser world.”
Jayaschandran VS. senior editor at The Week (India)
