DESCRIPTION:

National Journalist's Day is an annual observance in Afghanistan that honors the contributions of journalists to the country's media landscape.

In Afghanistan, journalists have played a vital role in promoting freedom of expression and the free flow of information. Despite the numerous challenges journalists face in the country, they have continued to report on important issues such as human rights abuses, corruption, and the ongoing conflict.


National Journalist's Day is an opportunity to recognize journalists' significant work in Afghanistan and highlight the need for press freedom and the protection of journalists' rights. The day includes various events, including seminars, workshops, and award ceremonies, which aim to celebrate the achievements of Afghan journalists and encourage further growth in the country's media sector.

 Since the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan in 2021, over 50% of journalists have lost their jobs, and several have been killed, including 19 injured and the murders of Sajjad Mosawi and Akmal Nazari at an awards presentation on March 11, 2023, by a bomb detonated by ISIL in Mazar-e-sharif.
