The Media Association of Trinidad and Tobago (MATT) is joining the global community in observing World Press Freedom Day 2026, marking the 35th anniversary of the Windhoek Declaration.
The association expressed solidarity with journalists and media workers across the country, describing them as part of the Fourth Estate and frontline guardians of transparency and truth in T&T.
This year’s theme, “Shaping a Future at Peace: Promoting Press Freedom for Human Rights, Development, and Security,” comes against what MATT described as a sobering backdrop following a decline in the country’s standing in the 2026 World Press Freedom Index published by Reporters Without Borders (RSF).
