We're celebrating the 165th anniversary of the birth of a true great: Rabindranath Tagore, who was born #onthisday 7 May, in 1861 in Calcutta, India.
The first non-European literature laureate, he was awarded the #NobelPrize "because of his profoundly sensitive, fresh and beautiful verse, by which, with consummate skill, he has made his poetic thought, expressed in his own English words, a part of the literature of the West."

Journalism shapes peace.
Access to reliable, verified information is not optional; it is fundamental to building peaceful, just and resilient societies.
When information is manipulated, it fuels division and erodes trust.
When it is free and truthful, it strengthens accountability, fosters dialogue and upholds human rights.
On #WorldPressFreedomDay, @UNESCO calls for the protection of freedom of expression and support for journalism as a pillar of peace.
