To mark Press Freedom Day, the NMT Media Foundation warned that reporters still face many dangers while trying to tell the truth.

The Namibia Media Trust Foundation hosted the International Youth Day celebration, underscoring that access to information is a powerful tool to shape a desired future for the youth.

A Youth ATI Advocate, JP van der Westhuizen, stressed that technology is now the new territory.

"The 8th Administration will work to ensure the safeguarding of press freedom in Namibia. The rights of media practitioners will always be protected in the execution of their duties."

In light of Namibia's recent decline to second place in Africa for press freedom and the upcoming elections, the Ministry of Information, Communications, and Technology has taken action by signing the gazetting of the Access to Information Regulations for publication in the government gazette.

The minister of Information and Communication Technology has highlighted the importance of access to information as a fundamental human right, which should be provided timely and accurately.
