The OSCE Representative on the Freedom of the Media Harlem Désir will meet with journalists and media experts in Nicosia, in the scope of the Office’s on-going “Cyprus Dialogue” launched in March 2017. Desir will meet with the Heads of the Unions of journalists and the Heads of the Press Councils from the Greek Cypriot and the Turkish Cypriot communities, with Cypriot as well as international media experts, and with representatives of civil societies in order to exchange ideas and discuss further co-operation in improving quality journalism in Cyprus.
Désir will also hold a meeting with the successful applicants of the Office’s project titled “Exchange opportunity for young journalists in Cyprus”. In November and December 2017, the young journalists will spend a week at a media outlet of the neighbouring community, and report to the home readers about their experiences. The objective of this initiative is to increase understanding through new experiences and exposure to everyday life in the neighbouring community.
