“Inter-Rives” co-production and the University of COPEAM have been selected and included in the 150 most significant and innovative initiatives - identified all across Europe - by, or about, the media that counter discrimination and promote diversity.
This, in the framework of the study on “Media & Diversity” - commissioned by the E.C. and conducted by an independent consortium comprising the International Federation of Journalists, Internews Europe and the Media Diversity Institute - whose findings and recommendations will be published in may 2009.
This pan-European study covers 27 EU Member States and 3 EFTA countries and is aimed at looking for best practices across this area that have been taken over the last five years by or about the media (broadcast, print, and online media) and which successfully challenged discrimination and promoted diversity. Starting from this research, recommendations will be submitted to the European Commission for further action to be carried on to help promote diversity and combat discrimination in the media.
