SUMMARY:Liberties’ Media Freedom Report 2024: Freedom of the Press Reaching Breaking Point - publication
DESCRIPTION:Media freedom and pluralism is flailing across Europe\, and in some countries\, are on its last legs. \nThe European Media Freedom Act will bring some improvements\, but on its own is not enough to rescue a struggling media landscape. Liberties Media Freedom Report 2024 reveals that media freedom and media pluralism are close to breaking point in many EU countries\, while in others\, a near-total overhaul is required to address chronic\, systemic issues with only a limited number of exceptions. The continued erosion of media freedom is evidenced by widespread harassment of journalists and governments restricting access to information. Meanwhile\, heavy media ownership concentration and threats to the independence and finances of public service media contribute to a shrinking media plurality. A diverse and free media environment is crucial for democracy because we rely on independent news outlets to hold our politicians accountable and keep us informed. The pattern of declining media freedom – which shows the overarching trends documented in last year’s report remain unaddressed – goes hand-in-hand with Europe’s democratic backsliding. Based on findings from over two dozen civil liberties organisations from 19 countries across the EU\, the report covers media freedom and pluralism\, safety and protection of journalists\, and freedom of expression and access to information in 2023\, a year when the media landscape was shaped not only by new legislation (Anti-SLAPP Directive\, Digital Services Act\, European Media Freedom Act)\, but also elections (Poland\, the Netherlands\, Slovakia) and regional conflicts (Russia-Ukraine\, Middle East). Additionally\, this year’s report features a new chapter dedicated to the European Media Freedom Act (EMFA) – a landmark piece of legislation that has myriad implications for media freedom and pluralism in the EU. \nLinks:\nLiberties’ Media Freedom Report 2024: Freedom of the Press Reaching Breaking Point

SUMMARY:Banned Books Week 2023
DESCRIPTION:Banned Books Week is an annual awareness campaign promoted by the American Library Association and Amnesty International\, that celebrates the freedom to read\, draws attention to banned and challenged books\, and highlights persecuted individuals. \nHeld in late September or early October since 1982\, the United States campaign “stresses the importance of ensuring the availability of those unorthodox or unpopular viewpoints to all who wish to read them” and the requirement to keep material publicly available so that people can develop their own conclusions and opinions. The international campaign notes individuals “persecuted because of the writings that they produce\, circulate or read.” Some of the events that occur during Banned Book Week are The Virtual Read-Out and The First Amendment Film Festival. \nLinks:\nBanned Books Week

SUMMARY:#TruthNeverDies Day to #EndImpunity for Crimes against Journalists / Dag tegen Straffeloosheid voor Misdaden tegen Journalisten 2021
DESCRIPTION:In 2011\, IFEX launched the International Day to End Impunity campaign and in 2013\, the United Nations designated 2 November as the ‘International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists’ in General Assembly Resolution A/RES/68/163\, the date was chosen in commemoration of the assassination of two French journalists in Mali on 2 November 2013. \nThe Resolution urged Member States to implement definite measures countering the present culture of impunity. This landmark resolution condemns all attacks and violence against journalists and media workers. It also urges Member States to do their utmost to prevent violence against journalists and media workers\, to ensure accountability\, bring to justice perpetrators of crimes against journalists and media workers\, and ensure that victims have access to appropriate remedies. It further calls upon States to promote a safe and enabling environment for journalists to perform their work independently and without undue interference. \nBetween 2006 and 2020\, over 1\,200 journalists have been killed for reporting the news and bringing information to the public. In nine out of ten cases the killers go unpunished. Impunity leads to more killings and is often a symptom of worsening conflict and the breakdown of law and judicial systems. These figures do not include the many more journalists\, who on a daily basis suffer from non-fatal attacks\, including torture\, enforced disappearances\, arbitrary detention\, intimidation and harassment in both conflict and non-conflict situations. Furthermore\, there are specific risks faced by women journalists\, including sexual attacks. \nWorryingly\, only one in ten cases committed against media workers over the past decade has led to a conviction. This impunity emboldens the perpetrators of the crimes and at the same time has a chilling effect on society including journalists themselves. Impunity breeds impunity and feeds into a vicious cycle. When attacks on journalists remain unpunished\, a very negative message is sent that reporting the “embarrassing truth” or “unwanted opinions” will get ordinary people in trouble. Furthermore\, society loses confidence in its own judiciary system which is meant to protect everyone from attacks on their rights. Perpetrators of crimes against journalists are thus emboldened when they realize they can attack their targets without ever facing justice. UNESCO is concerned that impunity damages whole societies by covering up serious human rights abuses\, corruption\, and crime. Read and share the stories of killed journalists #TruthNeverDies. In 2024\, the global commemoration of the International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists will take place on 6-7 November 2024 at at the African Union Headquarters in Addis Ababa\, Ethiopia under the theme of Safety of Journalists in Crises and Emergencies. \nLinks:\nDay to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists \nVolkstribunaal voor moorden op journalisten begint met eerste hoorzitting
