Obama: World Press Freedom Day

President Obama has a light public schedule Friday, with one event devoted to World Press Freedom Day.

In the late morning, Obama meets with journalists who have been persecuted for trying to report from hot spots around the world.

The administration also plans to keep up its campaign to promote free trade agreements with Asian and European nations.

As part of that effort, the White House Council of Economic Advisers is releasing a report entitled "The Economic Benefits of U.S. Trade."
