World Press Freedom Day is a global observance and not a public holiday.

World Press Freedom Day gives people the chance to pay tribute to media professionals who risked or lost their lives in the line of duty. Many communities, organizations and individuals take part in this day through various events such as art exhibitions, dinners featuring keynote speakers, and awards nights to honor those who risked their lives to bring news to the world

Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability
Monitoring = maximizing opportunities, cutting losses
Evaluation = reporting on progress
Accountability = built-in consequences and points of accountability, recognition and rewards
May 3 also serves as a day of remembrance for those journalists who lost their lives in the exercise of their profession.
