Today, WH is so proud of our Partner Asja Roksa - Zubcevic and our Associate Martina Chapman, for having authored this outstanding report on the new concept of "media freedom literacy" (MFL) for the OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media. MFL is defined by the report as "the knowledge and skills that enhance citizens ability to understand and value the democratic functions of the media and other information providers, online and offline, and the importance of a pluralistic, well-functioning media landscape serving the public interest, including critical evaluation and ethical production of information and media content". A must read for all those who believe in the importance of both media freedom and media literacy for the health of democracy, and who are ready to work to foster them in these troubles times. https://lnkd.in/e2Sn2669

It also empowers citizens to participate with some basic knowledge of our legal system. #law #lawyers #barassociation #ABA #civicliteracy #financialliteracy #judicialprocess #courts

JOIN THIS AMAZING DISCUSSION next Wednesday, Oct. 16. on lessons learned, emerging trends and examples of how to advance democracy that is inclusive of all. Register: https://lnkd.in/gyFp736V A recent survey found that 86% of people globally want to live in a democracy. The concept of democracy, however, is a threat to some who seek to control, and these actors are using orchestrated, well-resourced, and weaponized narratives to justify repression and delegitimize it. It's happening now, everywhere, including here in the U.S.
Join our panel this month for a timely and important discussion about how identity-based narratives are used to weaken democracy. Our panel will share perspectives and lessons learned on the intersecting challenges of rising authoritarianism, shrinking civil spaces and constricting democratic freedoms, and the importance of preserving and advancing the essential elements of pluralistic democratic systems. Discussion in English with simultaneous Spanish interpretation. The panel includes: Delma Jackson III, María Fernanda Salazar Mejia, Haim Malka and will be moderated by Erin Bloom. WHEN: Wednesday, October 16, 2024, from 12:30 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. EDT Register: https://lnkd.in/gyFp736V
