EUROPEAN MEDIA FREEDOM ACT: HEARING WITH JOURNALISTS, ACADEMICS AND INDUSTRY EXPERTS
The Renew Europe political group is organising an exchange of views on the European Freedom of the Media Act with media experts, academics, journalists and press associations, as well as industry representatives on Wednesday 22 March 2023 at the European Parliament. The debate will be divided into three panels, the first of which will be chaired by Irena Joveva MEP (Renew Europe/Freedoms), who is also the Shadow Rapporteur for the Act on the lead committee, the Committee on Culture and Education.
A free and independent media is a pillar of any healthy democratic society. In the light of the legislative work in the European Parliament on the European Media Freedom Act (EMFA), the event aims to highlight some of the issues related to media markets in the Member States and to discuss some of the specificities of the countries, in order to enable MEPs to plan and propose effective solutions.
Why do we need a strong and binding European Freedom of the Media Act? The forthcoming legislation is a response to worrying trends in media freedom across the EU and aims, above all, to protect media freedom, pluralism and independence in the single European market. The detailed programme and list of speakers can be found here and the webcast of the event, which will run from 10.00 to 12.30, can be found here. The event will be held in English.
