Progress is being made with new EU legal instruments, but effective implementation and collaboration remain crucial. It's time to turn commitments into action to protect journalists from abusive litigation.

Remember "SLAPPs"? 📑
At #GMF24 in June, @ECPMF Senior Legal Advisor @fluturakusari and media lawyer @ladywell23 presented effective strategies to counter #SLAPPs (strategic lawsuit against public participation) that target journalists and restrict #mediafreedom.
Strategic lawsuits against public participation (#SLAPPs) are a threat to democracy.
The @CASECoalition and the @ECPMF together with the Council of Europe are co-organising the second European Anti-SLAPP Conference, to be held on 14 November 2024 in Strasbourg.

"Europe need to show leadership and sets the right example in terms of how it is going to protect journalists to going forward." says Gill Phillips @ladywell23 in a discussion about #Slapp and the implementation of the legislation at national level. #ConnectingEU2024
#AI is only a tool. Journalism is about connecting to the readers, finding and telling stories that matter and we need to create save places for information –
says @AlexaBorchardt at #ConnectingEU2024
Media is under threat everywhere. All welcome speeches #ConnectingEU2024 by @EESC_President@Molenews1 and @j_pomianowski highlight the importance of independence for media and the urgent need to protect and support journalists.
I'm being proud of the work the colleagues @ECPMF and @MediaFreedomEU are doing and seeing it is recognized and appreciated. @EU_EESC is inviting us to #Brussels to talk about protection mechanisms for independent journalism. #HannahArendtInitiative

Journalists & representatives of media freedom community came together to commemorate Dahpne‘s work. She has become the symbol of investigative journalists who are targeted as a result of their work. We hope that the on-going trial will bring a much needed conclusion to the case.
