Focus on Media Freedom
The AEJ is an official Observer in the Council of Europe's Media Steering Committee. We are working with the Council of Europe, alongside other media and human rights organisations, on a new Database Project to map assaults on media freedom and independence across Europe and seek to end them.
The AEJ's Media Freedom Representative, William Horsley, is also active on a Council of Europe Working Group aimed at ensuring that anti-terrorism laws are not misused to block legitimate freedom of expression.
Read William Horsley's "Respect for Media Freedom" Report and more under AEJ MF Reports.
