Rubio and Cardin Reintroduce World Press Freedom Protection and Reciprocity Act Ahead of World Press Freedom Day
Washington, D.C. —U.S. Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Ben Cardin (D-MD) reintroduced the World Press Freedom Protection and Reciprocity Act, which seeks to protect and promote worldwide press freedom and enhance reciprocity for U.S. news and media outlets. The bill was introduced ahead of World Press Freedom Day.
“As authoritarian regimes worldwide continue to repress and censor members of the independent media, I’m proud to reintroduce the bipartisan World Press Freedom Protection and Reciprocity Act,” Rubio said. “From Russia, to Cuba, to Iran, to Venezuela, to Turkey, and especially in China, journalists continue to be targeted and freedom of the press remains under attack. I thank Senator Cardin for his partnership on this important issue as we continue to advance the freedoms critical for healthy democracies.”
“We extend our thanks to the countless journalists in the U.S. and across the globe who safeguard the values of truth, democracy and justice through their work despite the risks, hardships and obstacles in their path, including campaigns to flood the zone with disinformation and propaganda” Cardin said. “A deadly pandemic and authoritarian repression have made it more urgent that the public receives the truth and clear information to keep them and their loved ones safe and government accountable to its people. For the future of our democracy, the United States must be a leader in the effort to protect the freedom of the press at home and abroad.”
