Media freedom in Europe: « The whole system of checks and balances is falling apart »

« Media and technology are tools. It takes a concerted effort of a people to decide how to use them. There are a few problems today, manifest in the Maghreb, but also discernible in Europe, whereby governments are building regulating frameworks and using them to weaken the media and prevent it from speaking freely, as in Hungary and Italy, for instance. »

These words, spoken by Leon Willems of Press Now, summarise succinctly the debate on Media Freedom in Europe that took place on 8 May at the TransEuropa Festival in Amsterdam.
