Independent journalism and freedom of the press from political bias and corporate influence is more important now than ever. As the daughter of a veteran broadcast journalist and news anchor, I know first hand how they bring important issues to light, inspire debate and work to protect freedom, democracy and the truth. Thank you to the Indo American Press Association for having me as their Emcee and hats off to all the journalists who risk their lives for the truth. ✨
