In preparation of the Mediterranean Forum, taking place in Marseille from 4 to 7 April 2013, the Anna Lindh Foundation organised a meeting in Barcelona (Spain) on the 1st and 2nd March. More than 70 journalists, professionals and civil society representatives gathered in the setting of the Palau de Pedralbes to discuss issues concerning the changes in the media sector.
The goal of the event was to elaborate new and innovative strategies and practices, to guarantee press freedom and the role of journalists in reporting the ongoing events, notably the consequences of the Arab Spring in the South and of the economic crisis in the North.
Mr. Pier Luigi Malesani, COPEAM Secretary General, was invited to moderate the session devoted to “The Media and the perspective of a Euromed integration”, whose key-speakers were journalists from Hungary, France and Turkey.
