Taken for Granted: The precarious state of media freedoms inside the EU

  • Summary

  • Online harassment, intimidation, lack of access, government monopolies on media - we’re used to seeing such offences in countries with poor media freedom records. But what if all this was happening right on our doorstep, here in Europe? In this episode of Trouble with the Truth, Lana discusses the declining state of media freedoms in the EU with Oliver Money-Kyrle, the Head of Europe Advocacy and Programmes at the International Press Institute. They talk about the gap between the values projected by European institutions and the reality faced by independent journalists - from media capture and unregulated AI to malicious lawsuits and the dangerous anti-press rhetoric from right-wing politicians. And most importantly: what’s being done on the individual and institutional level to combat these challenges?
