International Press Institute Press Freedom Adviser Colin Peters on the Recent Mission to Slovakia

On 18 March 2009, IPI conducted a one-day fact finding mission to Bratislava, capital of the Slovak Republic, to meet with media professionals and discuss the press freedom obstacles faced by the Slovak media. The mission was the first in what will be a series of similar national media environment assessments carried out in countries in the region. During the mission, IPI met with individuals representing a wide spectrum of the Slovak media, including Slovak Public Radio and Slovak Public Television, the public news agency TASR and the private news agency SITA, representatives from the Slovak Syndicate of Journalists and the Slovak Press Council, lawyers specialising in media matters and journalists from different private media and members of the IPI
Slovakia National Committee.
