The monument is a tribute to journalists worldwide who have devoted their lives to journalism. Quotes from these journalists will be engraved onto the surface of the monument in their original languages. Reflecting on the origin of the word "press" from the act of pressing, the texture of the monument will embody the essence of the press.
