Public Service Media for Democracy

The Public Service Media for Democracy conference will orchestrate discussions between high-level representatives of the Council of Europe and its member states, EBU Members, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, national Parliamentarians, the European Audiovisual Observatory, EU institutions, regulatory authorities, the OSCE, UNESCO, and journalists and other civil society organizations.

These debates are expected to lead to a set of concrete recommendations on how to improve the situation, along with a reflection on whether the applicable standards should be reviewed to meet the most recent challenges facing public service media.

The recommendations will be reflected in a final declaration. Take a look at the Council of Europe's dedicated web page.
