https://worldnewsday.org/audrey-tan-digging-deep-to-understand-rising-sea-levels/
About 10,000 years ago, sea levels in Singapore were at least 20m lower than today. But with the ice age coming to an end, melting land ice fuelled the oceans and sea levels rose over the next three millennia.

World News Day was marked in Asia, Africa and Europe by the World Editors Forum on September 28, 2019. This date coincided with UNESCO’s International Day for Access to Information.
World News Day was initiated by the Canadian Journalism Foundation in 2018 and celebrated in North America on May 3, 2018 and May 2, 2019.
At a time when journalism is under threat, being falsely accused of disseminating misinformation and experiencing eroded levels of trust, the need to proactively celebrate and remind all stakeholders (the public, law and policy makers, and the news industry itself) of the critical role journalism plays in society has never been greater.
