The South African National Editors’ Forum (Sanef) highlights the critical role that responsible and factual journalism plays in serving the public interest and safeguarding the principles of democracy.

On “World News Day”, Saturday, 28th September 2024, Sanef proudly supports the global campaign theme, “Choose Truth,” initiated by our esteemed international partners including the Canadian Journalism Foundation, WAN-IFRA’s World Editors Forum, and Project Kontinuum.

This campaign calls on all members of the news industry and their supporters to champion fact-based journalism, which is the foundation of a free and open society.

In a world where misinformation and disinformation can spread at unprecedented speeds, the commitment of journalists to uphold high standards of accuracy, ethics, and accountability has never been more critical.
