Invitation to the Press Awareness Day on Wednesday, 10th December 2008, 19:00-19:30

The Media Watchdogs would like to invite all delegates, all journalists and, of course, the Commissioner to reflect critically on their work. After the ratification of the first Eutropolis Declaration, the time comes to look retrospectively on the relation between the Eutropian governments and the press:
· Do we have well-on-going newspapers in Eutropia that stick to certain norms?
· Are there any restrictions the journalists have to fight with? Do they for example suffer censorship?
· Is there a healthy relationship between the Eutropian governments and the press without intimidations and corruptions?

Everbody is cordially invited to attend the special meeting to discuss some of these questions.
The journalists of “The Brynn” and “The Eutropian Independent” will be given the special opportunity to give a short speech about their opinion concerning the freedom of press.
The Press Awareness Day will take place in the online press conference room of Moodle on Wednesday, 10th December 2008, 19:00-19:30.


For everybody you wants to get more information on the meeting, here we publish our agenda:
1. Welcome and introduction to the topic and introduction of the journalists
