‘Talk | The State of Independent Media in Europe’

▸▹▸ REGISTRATION ▸▹▸

Between growing capitalistic tendencies in the sector and the increasingly obvious political interference of certain States, the European media landscape is going through a series of crises. Many independent media are evolving in this context, continuing to operate despite these threats. The Sphera network, which brings together a number of them, is giving them the opportunity to speak at this Sphera Media Lab, particularly during this discussion which aims to take stock of the independent press in certain countries where media freedom is in decline. It is a way of shedding light on these situations and looking at possible avenues of resistance. 

Speakers: 
■ Pál Dániel Rényi (444, HU)
■ Karl Van den Broeck (Apache, BE)
