As the world celebrates World Press Freedom Day Tuesday, May 3, 2022, the publisher of one of the fastest growing online media platforms, 4th Estate Reporters, Njoku Macdonald Obinna, has saluted the dedication and resilence of Nigerian journalists in discharging their duties in the wake of insecurity, lack of insurance coverage and threats to life, amid poor renumeration.
In a message signed by the cerebral Publisher and media Consultant, he said, “We join millions of journalists, members of the 4th Estate of the realm and other well meaning media Practionners around the world as we celebrate the 2022 World Press Freedom Day, an annual epoch-making event which is observed on every May 3 to celebrate the fundamental principles of press freedom, and to defend the media from unnecessary attacks”.
“As a corporate and independent media organisation, we have continued to use our widely read and followed news platform to educate, inform and entertain our readers while holding government at all levels and her functionaries accountable to the people.”
“We thank our numerous readers, followers and a number of kindhearted individuals, who have played supportive roles in encouraging our efforts as we continue to remain proactive and active on the cyberspace while discharging our social responsibility to the public.”
“For want of time and space, we may not be able to mention all patriotic and media friendly Nigerians and Imo A- list personalities, who have supported us in one way or the other, but these few have remained consistent and predominate in extending their good hands of love in fellowship and media partnership.
