Media sector calls on MEPs to support the CULT compromise package in EMFA plenary vote

Ahead of the vote on the European Media Freedom Act on 3 October, the EBU and 13 media organizations have shared an open letter calling on all MEPs and political groups to support the CULT compromise package.

Although we would have hoped for more ambition on some issues, including the protection of journalists and their sources as well as prominence of general interest media services, the text on the table is the result of difficult compromises that deserves support in plenary. We further urge MEPs to refrain from supporting amendments that are not part of the CULT compromise package.
