Dr. Venetia Papa participates in the Conference of Ministers responsible for Media and Information Society, which brings together Ministers from across the EU to agree on action required to address the radical changes in the media and information environment brought on by massive digitalisation, with dramatic effects for the exercise of freedom of expression and substantial impact on other human rights and freedoms.

In addition, in a “world-café” format, Ministers have an opportunity to receive a first-hand account from local and community media representatives on their media literacy related work and other projects that have contributed to enhancing access and the participation of marginalised communities in media and in public debate, as well as to be informed of good practice examples in protecting journalists’ safety.

Our own Venetia Papa was invited to participate as a Media expert from Cyprus.
