📢 New EU media law must bolster press freedom, CPJ and partners say
The legislation will require EU member states to make changes at the national level to better protect the media and journalists against political interference and spyware and to increase transparency over funding and ownership, amongst other things.
We call on the EU to pressure its member states to be as ambitious as possible to prevent further backsliding on the rule of law and attacks on the media within the bloc.
