CMPF Summer School for Journalists

More details on the Summer School for Journalists organised by the Centre for Media Pluralism and Media Freedom and the European University Institute in Florence...

We were 32 participants from all over Europe, including Turkey and Kosovo, to take part into the workshop organised from June 11 to 15 in Florence, Italy.

The aim of the School was to identify and shape a common culture and approach to freedom and pluralism of media across Europe, based on theoretical principles and best practices as well as the exchange of ideas and points of view.

Specific focal areas of the summer school are the governance of journalistic activity and the role of investigative journalism for media freedom and democratic dynamics.   

For five days we listened to media and new media experts, from Pier Luigi Parcu to Steven Barnet from the University of Westminster, including Tom Rosenstiel from the Pew Research Center in the US, Alexander Stille rom Columbia University, USA, Dirk Voorhoof from Ghent University, Belgium, and Beata Klimkiewicz from Cracow, Poland.

We are now trying to build a network to try to keep on working on these issues. 

In this goal, our colleague Laura Schneider, PhD candidate at the University of Hamburg, is now conducting a survey on media freedom. If interested, you can find how to participate here:

 I will publish the two presentations I wrote about France in the next blog posts.


Cheers.
