Really important to celebrate and mark World Press Freedom Day because you know, local news is so important and, and the stuff that you're doing is so important to get news out there to people across the country.
But of course also there are things that are happening in other countries where the press isn't free.
And today is a day to mark that as well, to recognise that there are journalists working in other countries who don't have that freedom.
And also we I'm, I'm the Secretary of State for Culture and we're bringing forward a bill to have more press freedom in this country.
At the moment, just this week in Parliament, we're passing a law to ensure that a foreign state can't own our media.
