Targeted awareness-raising campaigns take into account monitoring results, needs identified and background research. Through social media work and offline and online materials, raising attention amongst the general public is a crucial element of each campaign. If applicable, personal meetings with the target group and direct diplomacy or advocacy actions may also be an important part of awareness- raising campaigns. One major topic for ECPMF’s campaigning work is the issue of impunity and safety of journalists.

Threats against journalists and media workers should not be tolerated: Report it
Threats to media freedom start WAY before journalists are killed or imprisoned. Some threats have become so commonplace that journalists accept them as a normal part of their work. Yet these threats are not normal. They are wrong and often illegal. They range from harassment on the basis of differences such as gender, LGBTQ, migration history, race, or protesting against climate change to intimidation and physical or legal threats. All these threats, large and small, happen every day and prevent journalists from doing their job. Theycan also discourage others from covering topics that. might result in similar intimidation.
If we do not protect media freedom we are left only with silence. Threats to journalists and media workers are threats to democracy.
