In the wake of the success of the joint public workshop between EPRA and Cullen International on regulatory aspects of Connected TV held in May 2012, EPRA will be one of the co-organisers of another public event - together with the Hellenic Foundation for European and Foreign Policy and the Association of European Journalists - entitled "Media freedom and independence: Trends and challenges in Europe".
The conference will take place on 7 February 2013 in Brussels from 08:45 to 04:30 and will be kindly hosted by the Representation of the Free State of Bavaria to the European Union.
This free-of-charge event will present MEDIADEM's latest comparative research findings and put forward policy suggestions for the development and consolidation of free and independent media in contemporary democratic societies. The event also seeks to support dialogue between the various stakeholders and heighten their awareness of the contribution they can make to media freedom and independence in Europe.
