The Bolivian Journalist's Day is commemorated nationwide on May 10, which was instituted by Supreme Decree in 1938, during the presidency of Lieutenant Colonel Germán Busch Becerra, a measure with which the activity began to be recognized as a profession and the right to retirement was validated.
Busch, through the Supreme Decree of 1938, considered Bolivian journalists "as promoters of culture and collective progress, since they exercised a collective benefit comparable to that of teaching and therefore deserved encouragement and social reward".
Today, in addition, this designation was intended to honor journalist Cirilo Barragán, director of the newspaper Juicio Público, and poet Néstor Galindo, murdered on this date, but in 1965, by dictator Mariano Melgarejo. Both were executed for having expressed opinions adverse to Melgarejo's regime.
