Honduras invited to participate in the Global Conference for Media Freedom in London
The United Kingdom and Canada will co-host the Global Conference for Media Freedom in London on 10 and 11 July 2019.
The UK and Canadian governments are working together to defend media freedom and improve the safety of journalists who report across the world. The Global Conference for Media Freedom is part of an international campaign to shine a global spotlight on media freedom and increase the cost to those that are attempting to restrict it.
It will bring together global leaders and representatives from the media industry, journalists, civil society and academia and is supported by Luminate. The Global Conference for Media Freedom in 2019 will be the first of its kind.
The conference will be structured around four themes:
- protection and prosecution, including impunity
- national frameworks and legislation
- building trust in media and countering disinformation
- media sustainability
Global leaders, representatives from the media industry, journalists, civil society and academia will gather to attend interactive panel discussions. The first day will focus on defining the challenges, the second on framing solutions.
