Journalist Day is observed in Taiwan every September 1 to commemorate the promulgation of the Protection of Journalists and Public Opinion Organizations law in 1933. Although it is not a public holiday in China and is not widely celebrated across the Republic of China, it holds significance among local journalists. The day is marked by speeches from important state figures and is primarily recognized by journalists and authorities. Many journalists use this occasion to organize protest marches against media monopolies and advocate for freedom of speech and the public's right to information. Despite being a working holiday, it serves as a platform for journalists to gather and voice their concerns regarding media control and restrictions on access to information.
