Along with the German Foundation Konrad Adenauer Stiftung, we corganize seminars on Quality Journalism, which aim to equip as much as possible young professionals and senior journalists with important skills for the media industry.
At a very critical time for the European journalism and especially for the Greek one, due to considerable budget cuts in newsrooms across the country and media shut down, journalists and especially young ones, face numerous difficulties in surviving in their professional environment or being competitive in the era of globalized newsrooms. “The conditions within the news industry have led individual journalists feeling disempowered rather than having more influence over their working lives”[1].
Content:
