The real stories shouldn't be kept secret
Freedom is something that we can't take for granted – especially when it comes to access to information worldwide. Free access to information means that everyone — no matter where they are — has the freedom to make up their own mind. That's why we offer a range of tools and means of distribution to help people in areas with limited freedom of the press access news and information. It's sometimes easy to forget that there are many places where people who publish dissenting thought are punished and the free flow of information is blocked. DW has made fighting censorship a core principle and works consistently to provide people everywhere with the information they need to understand problems and issues affecting their societies. Recognizing those that stand up for the right to speak up Since 2015, the DW Freedom of Speech Award has recognized media figures or initiatives for their commitment to promoting free speech. Promoting democratic values, human rights and the dialogue between different cultures has been at the core of DW for more than six decades. In many countries, government control of infrastructure can lead to information being censored or cut off altogether. That's why DW has always worked to provide solutions to circumvent censorship and provide information to the people. For example, people in countries whose governments block or restrict access to independent news can access DW content securely and anonymously with the Tor Project. Websites accessible through Tor (The Onion Routing) can be recognized by the extension '.onion.' A special browser such as the Firefox-based Tor browser is necessary in order to gain access to the websites.
