with Civil Society\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>As EFJ President, I was present at the International Governance Forum (IGF) in Istanbul at beginning of September in a global debate focusing on the development of the digital world and its impact issues most concerning journalists such as press freedom, protection of sources, safety and free access to information.<\/p>\n<p>During the discussion, a representative from Tunisia expressed framed in my view one of the most important challenges we have in the digital age \u2013 governments are losing touch with civil society and the \u2018\u2018offline world\u2019\u2019 is missing the connection with the online world.<\/p>\n<p>In history, we learned that the man in power has always been distant from the ordinary people living in real world. But digitalisation has changed this relationship. Development of new media platform is faster than the governments\u2019 attempt to legislate or suppress media freedom. Some political leaders try to regulate a digital market in a way, which appears to be ridiculous and out of touch with the digital world we are heading towards to. Turkey is a case in point. Earlier this year, the government of Turkey tried to shut down the social media network Twitter but the effort proved to be in vain because dissident voices become even louder online.<\/p>\n<p>In this context, the role of EFJ and its affiliates are very important because we can act as the bridge among policy-makers, journalists (or some say \u2018\u2018content providers\u2019\u2019) and the end-users in making the digital world richer with quality and plurality in information.<\/p>\n<p>As the industry saying goes \u2018\u2018content is king\u2019\u2019, journalists have an important role to play in ensuring that the content they produced is of high quality, reliable, ethical and accessible by the public while their authors\u2019 rights are respected.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: right\"><strong>Mogens Blicher Bjerreg\u00e5rd<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><em>EFJ President<\/em><\/strong><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<table class=\"mcnTextBlock\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse\" border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody class=\"mcnTextBlockOuter\">\n<tr>\n<td class=\"mcnTextBlockInner\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse\" valign=\"top\">\n<table class=\"mcnTextContentContainer\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" align=\"left\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"mcnTextContent\" style=\"padding: 9px 18px;font-size: 12px;border-collapse: collapse;color: #606060;font-family: Helvetica;line-height: 150%;text-align: left\" valign=\"top\">\n<h3 class=\"null\" style=\"font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 18px;font-style: normal;font-weight: bold;line-height: 125%;letter-spacing: -.5px;margin: 0;text-align: left;color: #606060 !important\"><span style=\"color: #0099ff\">EFJ<\/span><br \/>\n<strong>EFJ Annual Meeting 2014<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The EFJ will welcome more than 50 delegates from 26 national delegations in its Annual Meeting in Moscow, Russia on 20 \u2013 22 November.

Although the union has made a small victory for the salary of journalists by achieving a moderate increase of 1.34% after 26 months, the union has successfully rejected the proposal to reduce the number of holidays for journalists. It has also made the employers to recognise the need of local shop stewards at a time when media organisations are merging due to concentration of ownership. The agreement ensures that the number of shop stewards in local media will not be reduced.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, please contact <a style=\"color: #dc143c;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline\" href=\"mailto:Juha.Rekola@journalistiliitto.fi\">Juha Rekola<\/a>.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<table class=\"mcnDividerBlock\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse\" border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody class=\"mcnDividerBlockOuter\">\n<tr>\n<td class=\"mcnDividerBlockInner\" style=\"padding: 18px;border-collapse: collapse\">\n<table class=\"mcnDividerContent\" style=\"border-top: 1px solid #999999;border-collapse: collapse\" border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border-collapse: collapse\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<table class=\"mcnTextBlock\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse\" border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody class=\"mcnTextBlockOuter\">\n<tr>\n<td class=\"mcnTextBlockInner\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse\" valign=\"top\">\n<table class=\"mcnTextContentContainer\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" align=\"left\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"mcnTextContent\" style=\"padding: 9px 18px;font-size: 12px;border-collapse: collapse;color: #606060;font-family: Helvetica;line-height: 150%;text-align: left\" valign=\"top\">\n<h3 class=\"null\" style=\"font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 18px;font-style: normal;font-weight: bold;line-height: 125%;letter-spacing: -.5px;margin: 0;text-align: left;color: #606060 !important\"><span style=\"color: #3399ff;font-size: large\">EUROPE<\/span><br \/>\n<strong style=\"line-height: 20.7999992370605px\">The Future of Public Service Broadcasting in Europe<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>(18.9.2014) The EFJ President Morgens Blicher Bjerreg\u00e5rd and policy officer Yuk Lan Wong have met with the President of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) Mr. Jean-Paul Philippot at the Belgian French-speaking broadcaster RTBF in Brussels to discuss the future of public service broadcasters (PSB) in Europe.<\/p>\n<p>During the meeting, the EFJ has raised concerns over the governance of the new PSB which was criticised for its lack of independence and staffing procedures.

However, Germany will challenge this right by proposing a new law to limit the right to strike. According to the proposal, only the union with the most members in a company should have the right to negotiate with the employers and carry out strike actions. This would mean that larger unions will have a monopoly of power, making the smaller unions practically superfluous.The EFJ affiliates in Germany, DJV and DJU. Verdi, are joining forces to oppose such a proposal. Michael Konken, Chairman of the Journalists\u2019 Union of German (DJV) said, \u2018\u2018Workers must be free to choose whichever union to represent them.

As SEEMO\u2019s coordinator, Constantinoiu warned about the drastic decline in advertising revenue by 90% and predicted that Romania will probably be the first European country with no printed media.While Constantinoiu\u2019s prediction is yet to be proven truth, the 50 participants to the conference debated about how to improve the quality of journalism in the media in Romania. Suggestions include an efficient self-regulation, de-politisation of public broadcasting media, transparent media ownership and ethical guidelines for journalism. Renate Schroeder, the EFJ Director shared her views on how to reset the agenda and to fight together for journalism as a public good. She referred to an EFJ report \u201cJournalism in the shadows: The challenge for press freedom\u201d, which was published in 2011. Three years after the publication, the state of media in Romania unfortunately has not improved for journalists and throughout the region, be it inside the European Union or outside.
