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.
Media freedom in Europe, according to the ranking of the Freedom House
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.
Please return soon to this page for further details. Should you wish to cast your contribution to the event, please refer to Rosen Dimov at r.dimov@euroalter.com.

Le Pluralisme des médias en Bulgarie
Traduction : Aliénor Daumalin
Cet événement, organisé avec le Centre pour le développement des médias, est un rendez-vous important dans le cadre de
l’Initiative Citoyenne Européenne sur le pluralisme des médias lancée par Alternatives Européennes et une douzaine d’autres organisations en Europe. L’objectif est d’unir la branche bulgare de cette campagne internationale et d’élargir le réseau d’autres organisations et personnes qui se sentent concernées. Le forum rassemblera des représentants d’associations de médias et de journalistes ainsi que des organisations de la société civile et des institutions afin de discuter, de déterminer leurs préoccupations communes et d’envisager des moyens de surmonter les entraves à la liberté des médias en Bulgarie et dans le reste de l’Europe. La perspective européenne sera présentée par Lorenzo Marsili, codirecteur d’Alternatives Européennes, et par des partenaires non bulgares de la campagne. Les ressemblances et les différences entre diverses parties de l’Europe seront ensuite exposées afin de constituer une coalition solide et étendue tournée vers le pluralisme des médias en Europe.
La liberté des médias d’après le classement de Freedom House
L’Initiative Citoyenne Européenne sur le pluralisme des médias est lancée par une coalition d’organisations de la société civile, de départements d’universités et de médias issus de neuf États membres de l’UE qui demandent à la Commission européenne de formuler une initiative législative visant à harmoniser les règles nationales sur la propriété des médias afin de protéger le pluralisme et la liberté de la presse grâce à une directive bien étudiée que le nouveau dispositif de démocratie participative, l’Initiative Citoyenne Européenne, rend possible. Nous allons donc pouvoir recueillir (au moins) un million de déclarations de soutien venues d’au moins sept États membres (neuf dans notre cas) en l’espace d’un an pour demander directement à la Commission européenne d’élaborer cette initiative législative sur la question de la liberté et le pluralisme des médias et sur la façon de les protéger et de les renforcer dans les États membres.
Vous trouverez plus de détails sur cette page prochainement. Si vous voulez contribuer à cet événement, écrivez à Rosen Dimov sur

Nous vous invitons également à participer aux discussions sur la
page Facebook de l’Initiative sur le pluralisme des médias.
