The EJN, together with their partners the Evens Foundation and Free Press Unlimited, will host a free online panel looking at challenges to the media and ethical journalism in Central Eastern Europe. Save the date for Wednesday, 11th October, when this panel will explore the crackdown on freedom of expression in the region and the impact it has had on independent journalism.

The event will be moderated by Dr Aida Al-Kaisy from the Ethical Journalism Network. Our panellists will include Maryia Sadouskaya-Komlach from Free Press for Eastern Europe; Anna Gielewska, of Reporters Foundation Poland; and Marius Dragomir, of CFMDS Hungary. Photo by Tbel Abuseridze on Unsplash.

Following a series of online consultations in November and December 2020, the EJN has developed  a set of guidelines for reporting on migration for the Pakistani media. This project was enhanced with a month-long online training course in June 2021, for 21 journalists from across Pakistani media and which was followed by mentoring and a grants scheme facilitated by the ICMPD. Journalists from the following media took part: Pakistan TV, Geo TV, Dawn, Current, Samaa, Naya Daur and Tribal News Network. 

These guidelines are now available as infographics in both English and Urdu. They have been produced in partnership with the ICMPD and the Migrant Resource Centre, with funding from the European Union and the German Federal Foreign Office. 

The Ethical Journalism Network is an alliance of reporters, editors and publishers aiming to strengthen journalism around the world. We work to build trust in news media through training, education and research because we believe that fact-based communications delivered by well-trained and ethical media professionals are essential to help people better understand the world around them.

As a charity, we rely on donations to continue our work. Please consider contributing if you would like to help us to support journalists striving to practise ethical journalism and build trust in the media.

The EJN is a coalition of more than 70 groups of journalists, editors, press owners and media support groups from across the globe and we are growing. We are a registered UK charity and supervised by a Board of Trustees and an international network of advisors.
