European Festival of Journalism and Media Literacy, Voices, in Zagreb

Voices advocating for media freedom, diversity and literacy must unite to build an informed society and empower people. That was my main message today at the important European Festival of Journalism and Media Literacy, Voices, in Zagreb.

To curb the monopoly power of big tech, publishers, journalists, authors, creators, fact-checkers, NGOs, academics and civil society need to speak with a clear voice, so that tech companies cannot divide and conquer and policy makers and authorities can take action. Our time and energy should focus on our common and crucial task: an EU compass to regain resilience, sovereignty and boost our free press.

Thank you to Iva Nenadic Paolo Celot Pier Luigi Parcu for an informative conversation and to all attending the sessions, the questions and feedback.
