Media Freedom Day (MFD)

Most of the time, the messengers (reporters), are shot down, silenced and suppressed by forces that try to reduce the freedom of media.

World Press Freedom Day or Media Freedom Day as Papua New Guinea knows, was proclaimed by the United Nation General Assembly in 1993, and so this year, and the 03^rd of May, marks 30 years of World Press Freedom Day and the theme for this year is “Shaping a Future of Rights: Freedom of expression as a driver for all other human rights.”

The DWU Open Day will take place on Sunday May 7, 2017 at the St John Paul II Community Hall.

It is an annual event in which students within each department get to showcase what they learn in class with the purpose of marketing the university to prospecting students, sponsors, parents and other interested stakeholders.

The theme for this year is ‘Advancing quality collaborative e-learning accessible to all,’ and departments would capture it in their displays.
