The Committee to Protect Journalists, along with 49 other organizations, sent a letter on March 25 urging the European Commission to adopt an ambitious approach while preparing its draft proposal for the European Democracy Shield.
In 2024, the European Commission announced the European Democracy Shield, an EU-led initiative designed to reinforce democracy by addressing foreign interference, disinformation, and other threats to democratic processes.
The letter provided recommendations for strengthening the media, noting that: “a robust media sector working in the public interest is one of the strongest guarantees against the harmful effects of disinformation and polarisation.”
