Description
The Summer School for Journalists and Media Practitioners and The Boot Camp for Journalists are organised by the Centre for Media Pluralism and Media Freedom (CMPF), co-funded by the European Union, at the Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies of the European University Institute.
The Summer School will offer the opportunity to 30 journalists and media practitioners, mainly from Europe, to learn about the latest academic research, policy, market and professional trends in the area as well as to share their experiences, ideas and points of view. This year the Summer School will focus on media freedom and pluralism measurement from both theoretical and empirical perspectives. Particular attention will be paid on methodological challenges and concrete implementation of the Media Pluralism Monitor across EU member states
Eligibility
The Summer School is open to journalists and other stakeholders in the media industry, e.g. publishers, network operators, content and service providers, citizens associations, and regulatory authorities, mainly from EU member states.
The Boot Camp is open to journalists from all media platforms, mainly from EU member states.
