Stand Up for Journalist - 5. November 2007 - Brussels p6

The 'Standup' campaign is a protest against the dramatic crisis facing journalists suffering from excessive commercialisation, political pressure, falling standards and poor working conditions across Europe. The events, to take place in several European countries, will also show the crucial role played by European journalists' unions in fighting for quality journalism.

The 'Standup' campaign is growing fast -- this Residence Rendezvous event will focus on the future for quality journalism, and how we can each help to ensure that our profession has the support and freedom necessary for the proper functioning of the fourth estate.
