In the past years, the media industry has undergone drastic changes due
to the emergence of new technologies in the way news are produced and
consumed as well as the structural changes driven by the economic
crisis. Journalists’ organisations themselves also undergo changes to
renew their commitment and strategies to counter new challenges.
The European Federation of Journalists (EFJ) launched a handbook within
the framework of a project, ‘‘Rights and Jobs in Journalism: Building
Strong Unions in Europe’’
(
http://europeanjournalists.org/rights-and-jobs-in-journalism-building-stronger-unions-in-europe/)
, showcasing best practices of journalists’ organisations undertaken to
tackle new challenges.
t contains inspiring examples from EFJ members, including
recruitment and organising strategies to reach out to young and new
types of journalists;
development of new services and training opportunities catering for the
need of different members;
continue to defend the labour rights of journalists through collective
bargaining and innovative campaigns;
advocate the protection of the professional and social rights of all
journalists, in particularly those of freelance and precarious workers,
through national and European legislation;
lobby for strong authors’ rights protection for journalists and fair
contacts

The handbook is available in English (download :
