Paris, 5 May 2014
Last May, in the framework of the 2014 UNESCO World Press Freedom Day, COPEAM took part in a round-table focusing on the Transition to Public Service Media in the Southern Mediterranean, devoted to the contribution of the national media to fostering democracy, diversity and progress in society and to their transition to public service broadcasters as a major challenge.
In this session, COPEAM was invited to highlight some examples in terms of contents, presenting TV coproduction models and gender-related initiatives developed in cooperation with both North and South Mediterranean public broadcasters.
