[cma-l] Media against Hate - project launch

[Shirley Ludford]

Thank you for this.  We will follow development and support.
>From our part:  we have broadcast three programmes promoting Swindon as a City of Sanctuary, with representatives of the local Equalities Coalition and various ethnic groups; which led to coverage of a launch event in the town centre.
This has now further led to a new monthly programme starting in January which will be presented by a representative of the Coalition, after training with SWINDON 105.5.

Community Media Forum Europe (CMFE) is partnering with the European Federation of Journalists (EFJ), ARTICLE 19, Media Diversity Institute (MDI), Croatian Journalists’ Association (CJA), Cooperazione per lo Sviluppo dei Paesi Emergenti (COSPE) and Community Media Institute (COMMIT) in the Europe-wide campaign Media Against Hate, to counter hate speech and discrimination in the media, while maintaining respect for freedom of expression.

The media and journalists play a crucial role in influencing both policy-making and societal opinion on migration and refugees. As hate speech and stereotypes targeting migrants and refugees proliferate across Europe, balanced and fair media reporting is needed more than ever. Despite some good journalism practices and courageous journalists speaking out against hate, additional training and resources for media professionals and media organisations are needed in order for them to uphold ethical standards when reporting sensitive subjects.

A website www.mediaagainsthate.org will gather the latest news related to ethical standards, freedom of expression, media diversity and resources for media professionals and civil society organisations (CSO) to fight against hate in the media. A series of trainings and workshops will be organised for media professionals, community media, representatives of CSOs and media regulators across Europe to exchange best practices and promote mutual learning and cooperation activities.

In addition, a video contest will be launched in January as part of the campaign to collect a diverse range of best practices with counter-narratives fighting stereotypes and discrimination in the media.

For more information and regular updates, please visit the website www.mediaagainsthate.org and the hashtag #MediaAgainstHate on Twitter.
