The campaigns, implemented with the support of the US Agency for International Development (USAID), will be focused on such topics as ensuring media ownership transparency or improving access to information of public interest and working conditions for the journalists accredited to the Parliament. Thus, for three years the IJC will be organizing public events (debates, press clubs), aimed to determine decision makers to adopt laws that would create a more favorable legal framework for journalists’ work and, respectively, improve the quality of the information provided to citizens. According to Nadine Gogu, director of the IJC, that especially concerns promotion of the draft law on modifying the Broadcasting Code in order to ensure media ownership transparency, as well as amendment of the law on access to information.
Journalists and representatives of the civil society and of authorities will have the possibility to meet and search together for possible solutions to various problems.
The IJC will also monitor the situation of mass media and take attitude by means of declarations or public appeals in cases of abuse against journalists or mass media. Furthermore, within these campaigns the IJC will launch petitions calling for journalists and media consumers to support these initiatives, and will publish on the Media Azi portal interviews with media experts and analytical materials referring to the situation of the media in Moldova.
The Advocacy Campaigns Aimed at Improving Transparency of Media Ownership and Access to Information project, implemented by the IJC, is part of the Moldova Partnerships for Sustainable Civil Society project, implemented by FHI 360.
The implementation of this project became possible due to the generous support of the American people, offered through the US Agency for International Development (USAID).
