European Centre for Press and Media Freedom ECPMF

The centre helps shaping a common European media space and supports, defends, elaborates and expands pan-European media freedom.

The ECPMF conceives of itself as a pan-European organisation of journalists with the goal of procuring the application of the European Charter on Freedom of the Press throughout Europe. The ECPMF is constituted democratically and is politically independent. The Centre is organised as a European Cooperative Society (SCE). The work of the ECPMF is based on thorough, objective and professional analys

is based on high research standards. The centre will moderate and coordinate the activities of its members. Together with local and international members and partners it organizes solidarity. The ECPMF will work as a central registration office for violations of press freedom, and as a central contact point for organisations and individuals who need contacts, analyses and information regarding press freedom in Europe. Violations of press freedom are observed and researched by regional editors and registered in a central data base. Also scientific analysis about press freedom in Europe will be collected systematically. The activities of the ECPMF and its members range from “journalists in residence”, diplomatic efforts, international petitions, fact finding missions, campaigning, rapid response forces, legal aid, to legislative initiatives. The centre will award the European Journalism Prize and offer training and education.
