Stand Up for Journalism

November 05, 2014

On the day or during the week of the 5 November, journalists across Europe and around the world come together in solidarity to spotlight some of the major challenges they face. The EFJ Steering Committee is proposing to highlight the situation of journalists in an increasingly concentrated media environment. New actors, including Google, threaten not only media pluralism but increasingly the survival of many freelance journalists who often only face one media employer, especially at local level. Tycoons have been buying media outlets and in many countries appear to exert media contro, especially in eastern and southeast Europe, where those involved in media are also involved in other businesses. All influence editorial control or promote a political ideology. Unions in Europe and around the world can launch initiatives or highlight a campaign in their countries as part of a European-wide week focusing on issues concerning journalists.

For the campaign to be as successful as the last year's and stand to its promises we need your full support and creative ideas! Please send all information about your activities to efj(at)ifj(dot)org.

Time: 7:00 a.m. - 11:30 p.m.
