It happens more and more often that reporters from media outlets that are independent or inconvenient to the ones who hold the power and to certain political parties are aggressed during public events. How can a journalist defend when being pushed by some politician’s bodyguard or when law enforcers hit the camera? Find out about it while watching a new edition of Media Azi talk show.

Viorica Tataru, journalist from Ziarul de Garda – an entity that lodged multiple complaints with the Police, will speak about double standards applied by the law enforcers. Learn from the lawyer Vitalie Zama how one should lodge a criminal complaint with the Police and what steps to take if the authorities do not want to investigate cases of journalists being abused.
