World Press Freedom Day
Your Gift Fuels Fair, Faithful & Trusted Reporting from UM News
It’s World Press Freedom Day’s 30th anniversary. But UM News, the official newsgathering agency for the UMC, has been championing honest news reporting and freedom of expression since 1940.
The team helps readers build their foundation of understanding on solid information by countering disinformation. These ministry professionals are objective, thorough, balanced and inclusive of voices, views and contexts from across the denomination. Instead of just presenting one side of an issue, UM News provides a full and unbiased account that audiences can rely on.
Your faithful giving to the World Service Fund supports a portion of the UM News efforts – thank you! But did you know that it’s additional giving that helps it function at peak capacity and ensure that members stay informed and have a trusted place to go for important news of the global church?
