Change

Journalism for social change: a thematic series that OBC Transeuropa dedicated - in the context of the ECPMF project - to journalistic initiatives that foster high-quality reporting, promoting and strengthening democratic values and fundamental rights in European societies.

In an editorial published on World Press freedom Day, Mogens Blicher Bjerregård, President of the European Federation of Journalists (EFJ) discusses the battle between the media and politics in Europe and how it is reshaping the challenges facing journalists in their daily work.

More in this newsletter: a selection of the dossier on media ownership produced by our media partners, covering Albania, Bosnia Herzegovina, Romania, Montenegro and Serbia; an analysis by Katarina Tadić looks at the impact of the spoil system on the functioning of the public administration in Kosovo; an interview with MEP Konstantina Kuneva, attacked for her activism, now fighting for women workers' rights in Europe .

From our partners: ECPMF provides temporary shelter for European journalists under threat. Applications are open until May 12th
