"Freedom of expression and freedom of information help to ensure an informed public," Reiss-Andersen said during Friday's ceremony."These rights are crucial prerequisites for democracy and protect against war and conflict." "I worked, I was busy. They called me from the Nobel Committee, but I didn't pick up the phone. I didn't even have time to read the entire text," he told TASS."I'll tell you this: this is not my merit. This is Novaya Gazeta. These are those who died defending the right of people to freedom of speech."
