Journalists do our jobs in the belief that journalism — at its best — matters to citizens the world over. World News Day is intended as an important reminder to the public of why journalism — at its best — matters. I believe that when journalists explain our work to you and hold ourselves accountable to our audiences, we can enhance trust and interest in journalism. Indeed, to mark World News Day in 2019, I asked Toronto Star readers for their perspectives on why #Journalism Matters to them. Several hundred readers responded, most showing great appreciation for fact-based journalism that aspires to live up to journalism’s highest standards.
