The Future of a Free Press in Central and Eastern Europe
The news media are facing strong headwinds. On the one hand, long-standing business models are failing. And at the same time, authoritarian regimes are on the rise, co-opting long-standing norms and institutions. Their first target? An independent news media. We are seeing this play out around the world, not more so than in Central and Eastern Europe.
Recording of the event is available here.
