Donor: ACCESS – Sofia Foundation
Duration of the project: February – October 2002
The Media Legislation and Access to Information project is the crosscutting activity of Belgrade Centre for Human Rights and the ACCESS Association (Sofia), representing the BHRN Network and SEENPM, respectively, with support from the Danish School of Journalism in Arhus.The project was comprised of two 3-days workshops held in Belgrade and Sofia. Approximately 15 participants from across the region attended each workshop. The goal of the workshops was to make use of the analysis, debates, and practices discussed in order to produce an analytical paper which would cover comparative analysis of media legislation in each country and implementation standards, as well as other relevant points of view.
The aim of this project was to offer practical experience, in-depth evaluation and advisable future strategies to several groups dealing with the problems of media legislation and access to information in the region. The main topics of the joint evaluation were formulated such that the segmentation served the needs of a given target-group.
Experience-sharing was assumed as the general approach of the project as a whole. As such, the main interest was not to follow the evaluation as such, but to organise evaluation along the lines of practical results, conclusions, prescriptions and advice.
