The event, co-organised with the
Centre for Media Development, is an important appointment within the
European Citizens’ Initiative on Media Pluralism, launched by European Alternatives and dozens of organisations around Europe. Its aim is to unite the Bulgarian branch of this international campaign and enlarge the network of other organisations and individuals that may be interested. The forum will bring together representatives of the media and journalist associations together with civil society organisations and institutions to discuss together and outline common concerns and possible approaches to overcoming obstacles to media freedom in Bulgaria as in the rest of Europe. The European perspective will be presented by Lorenzo Marsili, co-director of European Alternatives, and non-Bulgarian partners in the campaign. Accordingly, similarities and differences among varied corners of Europe will be outlined so as to build a solid broad coalition around the target of media pluralism in Europe.
The “European Citizens’ Initiative for Media Pluralism” is being launched by a coalition of Civil Society Organisations, academic departments, and media from 9 European Member States, calling the EU Commission to issue a legislative initiative to harmonise national rules on media ownership to protect pluralism and press freedom through an appropriate and carefully drafted Directive that the new tool for participatory democracy European Citizens’ Initiative is rendering possible. It will therefore become possible to collect (at least) one million statements of support coming from (at least) seven member states (9 in our case) within the span of one year to call directly on the European Commission to bring forward such a legislative initiative on the issues of media freedom and pluralism, and on how to protect and promote them in Member States.
