The event, organised as an informal expert seminar, will focus on the challenges for media freedom and media pluralism in the digital age. The outcome of the seminar will provide some input for the dialogue of EU Ministers in the General Affairs Council on 17 October 2017 on the role of the EU and the Member States in ensuring trust in a pluralistic media in the digital age.
The purpose of the hearing is to reflect on the state of play of media pluralism and media freedom in Europe and to identify ways to strengthen independence and better protect journalists and their freedom of expression. The event will be chaired by Claude Moraes, S&D.
