Launching The Erased: unifying against censorship

Pakistan Press Foundation

 

On World Press Freedom Day (May 3rd) we want to turn all eyes on the danger of censorship and the 363 imprisoned journalists worldwide. Most of the time, the stories of these journalists remain untold – because what is not published cannot be read. Now, The Erased font makes them visible. Media outlets and organisations worldwide are unified and participating.

The Erased uses an unique font that links every single one of the 363 imprisoned journalists to a censored word, and erases these words from participating (news) websites worldwide. This symbolises the importance of free, independent journalism and the danger of censorship. It takes away our right to know.
