§ Gone
is all pretense that journalism is about reporting the facts. These are the
aims of a political actor.
§ Being
bought and paid for by the EU apparently counts as "press freedom"
these days.
§ According
to the guidelines, journalists should, among other things, "Provide an
appropriate range of opinions, including those belonging to migrants and
members of minorities, but... not... extremist perspectives just to 'show the
other side'.... Don't allow extremists' claims about acting 'in the name of
Islam' to stand unchallenged.... where it is necessary and newsworthy to report
hateful comments against Muslims, mediate the information."
The European Federation of
Journalists (EJF), "the largest organization of journalists in Europe,
represents over 320,000 journalists in 71 journalists' organizations across 43
countries," according to its website. The EJF, a powerful player, also
leads a Europe-wide campaign called "Media against Hate."
The "Media against
Hate" campaign aims to:
"counter hate speech[1]
and discrimination in the media, both on and offline... media and journalists
play a crucial role in informing...policy ... regarding migration and refugees.
As hate speech and stereotypes targeting migrants proliferate across Europe...
#MediaAgainstHate campaign aims to: improve media coverage related to
migration, refugees, religion and marginalised groups... counter hate speech,
intolerance, racism and discrimination... improve implementation of legal
frameworks regulating hate speech and freedom of speech..."
