In Southeast Asia, many news organizations and human rights groups spoke about the threats to press freedom on World Press Freedom Day.
This year's theme is the impact of artificial intelligence on press freedom.
Artificial intelligence brings new opportunities to journalism, but also new problems.
In Cambodia, some groups say many journalists face harassment, and some media outlets have been shut down.
They hope the government will protect independent media.
In Malaysia, there are concerns that artificial intelligence will make news less truthful, and worries about too much government control over the media.
People hope new laws can help press freedom.
In the Philippines, although the number of journalists killed has decreased, attacks on journalists are still increasing.
Many believe that only with press freedom can democracy improve.
In Indonesia, journalists and student reporters often face violence and pressure.
Everyone hopes that news can be reported freely and safely, telling the truth.
