On 12 June, the LIBE Committee will hold a Public Hearing on media freedom and journalist protection.

Independent media are key to democracy and the rule of law, but face growing threats. The event will address EU legal challenges and explore reforms to strengthen press freedom, safeguard journalists, and ensure media sustainability, focusing on challenges as disinformation, surveillance, and manipulation.
