"World News Day chief warns media must stay relevant or society will struggle"

The appeal comes as the annual campaign seeks to underline the public value of reporting that investigates, verifies and explains major events. The message reflects a wider crisis of trust and attention facing journalism globally, where news providers are being pressed to prove their utility in an environment shaped by misinformation, platform disruption and audience fatigue.
