<p>World Press Freedom Day provides a forum to celebrate the fundamental principles of press freedom, and to defend the media from attacks on their independence. This year, we sat down with OUP President Niko Pfund, as well as authors Nadine Strossen (HATE) and Tom Nichols (The Death of Expertise) to discuss the challenges faced by the media today, and the future of press freedom, hosted by OUP&#8217;s Senior Marketing Manager, Erin Katie Meehan.</p>
