Dear list members,
The Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe adopted on 11
February 2009 the Declaration on the role of community media (CM) in
promoting social cohesion and intercultural dialogue, you will find the
text in English and French attached.
The Community Media Forum Europe (<_http://www.cmfe.eu/>_) has been
working as an observer with the Group of Specialists on Media Diversity
(MC-S-MD) of the Steering Committee on the Media and New Communication
Services (CDMC) of the Council of Europe since December 2007 and
contributed actively to the drafting of this Declaration, cooperating
closely with AMARC Europe.
/We are pleased to see the positive results of this work and are
convinced that the declaration can support the further development of CM
across Europe. This declaration surely helps strengthening the position
of CM in national regulatory and legislation processes, e.g. concerning
financial support and access to communication infrastructures. It also
strengthens the presence of CM on European policy level.
/
Please help distribute the document to CM and CM-federations in your
countries! The Council of Europe and the Ministers of Culture of the 47
member states need and deserve attention for this positive outcome.
Please inform CMFE on publications, either on websites (links) or in
newsletters, so we can then inform the Council of Europe.
For questions, don’t hesitate to contact CMFE via one of the contact
persons below.
Kind regards,
Pieter de Wit,
President CMFE
