With the support from UNESCO Office Beijing,  the Globe International, a Mongolian media advocacy NGO will conduct the World Press Freedom Day campaign in Mongolia.

The campaign is aimed at raising public awareness on the importance of free media. For one month, from 15 April to 15 May 2009, the most frequented streets in the Mongolia capital, Ulaanbaatar will display eye-catching banners and billboards which will contain references to the Mongolia Constitution and Media Freedom Law as well as UNESCO declarations on freedom of opinion and expression, public’s right to know and independent press. The statements will be accompanied by images of journalists reporting on the recent political crises, as well as respected media personalities moderating popular TV debates. The Globe International has ensured that all campaign images are used with the accord of their owners, and the quotations of documents are true to the originals.

Globe International has been working on promotion of freedoms of expression, information since its establishment in 1999.  It has been marking the World Press Freedom Day to focus on issues of media freedom and organized events against censorship.
