Launch of the NMP 'Television across Europe' followup project (Budapest conference, 7-9 June 2006)

The EUMAP/NMP reports on Television across Europe: regulation, policy and independence were launched in Brussels in October 2005. Since then, the reports have been translated and launched in 17 of the 20 countries covered by the report. The launches were accompanied by international and national level advocacy campaigns, intended to ensure that the reports' findings and conclusions reached the widest possible audience.

To mark the conclusion of this project, from 7-9th June, most of those involved with the reports' preparation (the country reporters, editing team and representatives of partner organisations), together with representatives of other relevant international and national organisations, met at a conference organised in Budapest by the Open Society Institute.

The Budapest conference was also organised to launch a new follow-up project, which will promote the realisation of the reports' recommendations in the medium-term. During the conference, participants discussed their priorities for followup activities and their ideas for optimising advocacy actions across Europe. The conference documents are available on this page.

The followup project will be lead by the Open Society Institute's Network Media Program. The Project Manager is Marius Dragomir (mdragomir AT osi.hu).

Round & round with the Roma 2008-09-04 · Budapest Times The Olaszliszka tragedy in 2006 was a clear signal that tensions in Hungary between Roma and non-Roma require immediate attention, the Centre for Fair Political Analysis argues. It also illustrated how the Roma policies of successive governments since 1989 have failed to effectively tackle the problems. What is needed is a paradigm shift, in which the Roma issue is treated as a broad social policy and welfare problem.
