[Commlist] Conference: MFRR Summit 2022: Boosting Press Freedom

*MFRR Summit 2022: Boosting Press Freedom*

On 22-24 March, the Media Freedom Rapid Response (MFRR) partners will 
host the second MFRR Summit, this year taking place under the title of 
“Boosting Press Freedom”. We want to invite you, your students, and your 
networks to take part in the Summit. Full details about the three-day 
event and how you can join can be found below.

First, a thematic keynote address from a leading stakeholder will open 
each of the Summit days, reflecting on safety of journalists 
<https://www.mfrr.eu/mfrr-summit-2022-day-1/>, legal threats 
<https://www.mfrr.eu/mfrr-summit-2022-day-2/>, and the role of 
pluralistic media in a democratic society 
<https://www.mfrr.eu/mfrr-summit-2022-day-3/>. After this, each day will 
feature two panel sessions which will focus on reporting from protests, 
online harassment, SLAPPs and other legal challenges, freedom of 
information, state capture, and the role of local media.

As part of the summit, we will also host specialised workshops for 
journalists, media professionals, journalist association 
representatives, and journalism students. During these we will take a 
closer look at building resilience against online harassment, navigating 
practical support, and the new Alert Explorer on Mapping Media Freedom 
<https://www.mappingmediafreedom.org/>. All panels and keynote addresses 
will be streamed live on the MFRR Twitter 
<https://twitter.com/MediaFreedomEU> and YouTube 
<https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnazw95j3pviCGDdkRtHg1A> accounts, and 
the ECPMF Facebook <https://www.facebook.com/ECPMF/> and LinkedIn 
<https://www.linkedin.com/company/ecpmf>. Each of the three workshops 
will take place on Zoom and therefore require registration
