World News Day is coming up on 28 September. Those of us in the industry know trusted journalism takes questioning. Investigation. Verification. Explaining what was found and why it matters. Never giving up when a source goes quiet, a story gets harder to prove or threatening lawyers' letters arrive. None of that makes the headline. All of it makes the headline true. On 28 September, newsrooms around the world will come together to mark World News Day. It is an opportunity to show and explain that work, the part most people never see.
