Weekly Jade-Abresham(silk way): Afghan National Journalist Day was marked by the Journalists Federation and Afghanistan media organizations on Thursday – March 22 – 2022, in Kabul – Afghanistan. The findings of a survey show that most of the journalists in Afghanistan do not have independence and are forced to censorship before publishing the content of printed materials. They also are heavily suffering from the lack of access to information.
Out of 623 media, 305 media are working and 318 media have closed after the Taliban take over. Out of 4090 media workers, 979 were women and the number of women journalists has decreased to 243 women. Totally 2091 journalists have lost their jobs.
At the end of this program, 20 talented journalists were appreciated and received Elite Journalists awards in different sections. The Journalist National Day was celebrated in Afghanistan while many journalists have abandoned the country and most of the media outlets are not able to continue their work due to financial problems.
