The SEE Media Observatory organized the regional meeting “Building capacities and coalitions for defending media integrity” in Skopje, Macedonia, on 28th-29th April.
 
Representatives of civil society organisations, individual activists, independent state bodies, non-profit media and investigative journalists discussed and prioritized issues for concrete actions to effectively influence national media policies for protecting and strengthening media freedoms and media integrity in the countries of Western Balkans and Turkey.
 
As a result of the regional meeting, the national teams generated fresh and creative ways for effectively reaching relevant stakeholders by creating specific advocacy actions that will be implemented in their countries in the course of 2015 and 2016. The actions will lead towards submission of policy/legislative initiatives or will employ various traditional and digital communication tools for creation of concrete issue-driven campaigns that will tacke most burning issues related to media integrity in each respective country.
