There is a clear correlation between #MediaFreedom, democracy & security, I said today in my address to the @OSCE Security Committee. The causal link is undeniable: when media freedom deteriorates, our common security is at risk. There can be no security without media freedom.
At today’s event ‘Empowering Youth to Safeguard the Civic Space’ I have united with @osce_odihr, @oscehcnm, @oscepa, @OSCE Secretariat & @OSCE24MT to amplify youth voices. They play a vital role in peace & security, bringing fresh perspectives to tackle #MediaFreedom challenges
I reiterate my call on the authorities of #Russia to end the crackdown on independent media and journalists. The recent designation of @MoscowTimes as ‘undesirable’ organization yet again flagrantly contradicts #OSCE commitments on #MediaFreedom.
#MediaFreedom is critical for ensuring greater security. We depend on quality media & public interest information to strengthen resilience, to empower people & to protect democracy, I said today at our high-level panel, No Security Without Media Freedom
With multi-stakeholder actions we can tackle the complexity of today’s digital landscape & uphold the role of #MediaFreedom as an essential component of democracy and security.

Research Report “Media Freedom, Democracy, and Security”
Can there be security without democracy and media freedom? Democracy is often argued to be a system for peacefully resolving political conflicts, and hence generating more secure societies. Rigorous research evidence provides clear guidance on this topic.…

It's devastating to see so many unresolved attacks on media professionals. On International Day to #EndImpunityfor Crimes against Journalists, we recall that the #SafetyofJournalists is a key pillar of #MediaFreedom. Our projects👇

Safety of Journalists
Why is this project relevant? Attacks against journalists pose serious challenges to media freedom, democracy and security. They silence critical voices, spread fear and have a chilling effect on free speech.
Today’s powerful Big Tech creates complex media dependencies that risk undermining democracy. #MediaFreedom is deeply intertwined with economic & political systems — we must ensure technology serves the public interest.

In addition to @OSCE_RFoM assisting participating States in implementing their #MediaFreedom commitments, close cooperation with civil society is essential for fostering positive and sustainable change at the local level.
At a time when the importance of #MediaFreedom, as a core pillar of comprehensive security, is being questioned, we must collectively uphold the Helsinki principles to rebuild peace, said Officer-in-Charge Philippe Tremblay at the Parallel Civil Society Conference. #OSCEMC24

📽️ Last week I conducted my official visit to 🇳🇴. Good exchange of ideas on how to support #MediaFreedom as an integral part of #OSCE's comprehensive approach to security.👇
Good to meet with @SallaNazarenko from @Journ_liitto & colleagues from Helsingin Sanomat @hsfi in #Helsinki. We discussed the increasingly complex working & economic environment for journalists & edited media, as well as the influence of Big Tech on #MediaFreedom.
AI shapes our information landscape based on Big Tech’s business priorities, amplifying harmful content, including hate & antisemitism. We need healthy information spaces, rooted in #MediaFreedom & public interest, said @barbara_trionfi at the #OSCE Antisemitism Conference.
I urge the Republika Srpska National Assembly to refrain from adopting the “foreign agent” law & take action to protect media & NPOs, in line with #BiH's international human rights obligations & OSCE #MediaFreedom commitments. Any legislative process should be open & inclusive.
