Accusations of censorship at UN on World Press Freedom Day

On World Press Freedom Day when the UN chief is touting the "invaluable" role of a free press, a decision to postpone a UN panel discussion on international media freedom and fake news has sparked accusations of censorship.

The postponement was raised at the official UN event yesterday marking World Press Freedom Day where Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said in a video message that the media's service to the public "is invaluable."
