Ethical Journalism Initiative
The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) Ethical Journalism Initiative (EJI) is a campaign and programme of activity developed by journalists and media professionals to restore values and mission to their profession. It aims to strengthen press freedom, reinforce quality journalism and consolidate editorial independence.
The MENA-focused conference will involve editors, journalists and journalists’ organisations involving key representatives as well as researchers on the subject in Europe and Asia. The aim of the conference is to involve mainstream media in the initiative and to agree a practical programme of work.
Ilam intends to contribute its findings and experience in the development and institution of The Media Charter, in addition to diversifying its international relations and building new coalitions.
