Why should we care about press freedom?  (1:13)

So, how are things around the world? This video (3:2) compares the freedom of the press.  What do you think of where the UK is ranked?

A PRAYER FOR TODAY (available here as a 1:00 video)

Loving God,

We give thanks for journalists who investigate, inform and celebrate.

Strengthen and direct all who write what many read,
and speak where many listen.

May they be courageous in confronting evil and injustice:
and understanding and compassionate of human weakness;
seeking always to convey not just aspects of truth but the whole truth.

May they act with honesty and integrity,

And feel protected and empowered to challenge oppression in all its forms.

We ask this in your holy name!

St Julie: pray for us, protect us and bless us.
