Challenges to Press Freedom: The Global Landscape and the Case of Cyprus

The OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media Dunja Mijatovic will give the keynote speech at this one-day conference bringing together experts to give a general assessment of the current structural and political impediments to freedom of the press around the world, as well as the significance of media responsibility for democratic decision-making. The conference will also address these issues in the context of the current media landscape in Cyprus, where impediments to media freedom are primarily structural and where most journalists have not received formal training in journalism, including its journalistic ethics.
