Access to information is crucial to make informed decisions. This is especially important in times of crises like these. Right now our decisions have a huge impact on ourselves, our neighbors and the whole society. Unfortunately populistic and autocratic tendencies are on the rise, press freedom is curtailed, and journalists are under threat. When governments surpress the free flow of information, it has terrible consequences for public health. Now, more than ever citizens need truthful, verified and unbiased information. Populistic lies, censorship, and media repressions are killing. Information is saving lives.
