Promoting media standards

The European Union asked the Thomson Foundation to study how well Kosovo’s media regulators do their job of upholding journalistic ethics in print, broadcasting and online. The insights gained proved valuable and an opportunity now exists to work towards a more coherent framework for media regulation. The unique project brought together journalists, editors and lawyers, prosecutors and judges to build a more coherent framework for media regulation.
