Third of May is observed as World Press Freedom Day every year. This year marks 30 years since the declaration of World Press Freedom Day by the UN General Assembly through the Windhoek Declaration. As we gear towards observing the 30th Anniversary of World Press Freedom Day,  next week, it presents an opportunity for the current government to reflect on their vision for the Bhutanese media landscape, both mainstream and social media, formal and informal, over the next five years of their tenure.
