Happy International Journalists Day: International Journalists Day is recognised on November 19 every year to remember the reporters and journalists who have died while doing their jobs. Today is a chance to think about how reporters, writers, photographers and other people who work on news stories affect our lives. These people are important because they bring out the real truth for the public, stand up to powerful people when things go wrong, and give a voice to those who are quiet or ignored. They write bold stories, give powerful speeches on the news, and travel to dangerous places where chaos and risk prevail. But they are still driven by purpose and keep reporting the facts so that regular people can understand what's going on.
In an era filled with misinformation, fights and viral headlines, journalists keep things clear and reliable. Whether it’s politics, on-the-scene updates, climate changes or personal journeys, they cover everything that moves the world daily. Many journalists even risk their safety just to share truthful accounts, avoiding bias or hidden angles. This day honours their bravery, steady effort, along with duty - not because it’s easy, but because it matters.
Here are more than 40 inspiring quotes to appreciate and salute the brave voices that we call journalists and reporters. Let’s take a look.
