Media Freedom Rapid Response
The International Press Institute (IPI) is a partner of the Media Freedom Rapid Response (MFRR), a project which tracks, monitors and responds to violations of press and media freedom, providing legal and practical support, public advocacy and information to protect journalists and media workers in the EU and Candidate States.聽
Mapping Media Freedom
The MFRR deploys a systematic and comprehensive monitoring of press and media violations and documents them on the platform.
The threats captured on the Mapping Media Freedom platform guide the MFRR鈥檚 legal, protection and advocacy work and shape the analysis of the major trends in Europe鈥檚 media landscape.
As part of this work, the MFRR coordinates fact-finding, advocacy and fast-response missions to source first-hand documentation and information to support our work; engages with national governments, European institutions and other bodies; hosts public and expert events; and coordinates public campaigns to secure greater awareness and public engagement to stand in solidarity with journalists and media workers across the continent.
