More than 400 news organisations in the US have taken action to educate the public on the importance of free media.
The initiative led by the Boston Globe aims to educate the public on the importance of free media, at a time when critics of the press and the President Donald Trump, are labelling the media an 'enemy of the people'.
In response, President Trump has stated the press is free, but it's choosing to publish and broadcast what he says is 'fake news'.
This report on the ABC's AM program features comments by USSC CEO Professor Simon Jackman.
