Requests for input: European Commission surveys
I. Study on Media & Diversity - Survey
This study, supported by the European Commission, aims to respond to the
challenge of diversity in our societies and to identify how media mirror
this diversity and participate in the fight against discrimination. Its
objective is to assist in the process of promoting diversity and
fighting discrimination in the media on a pan-European level.
In this context a survey has been launched in order to find out about
best practice in this area by identifying the most significant and/or
innovative initiatives taken by or about the media to combat
discrimination and/or to promote diversity. You can find more about the
study and the survey at www.media4diversity.eu. The survey uses
questionnaires (available in English, French and German) specifically
tailored for Media creators or managers and for civil society
organisations, which require 10-15 minutes to be filled in.
The deadline for contributions is Midnight June 18, 2008. The most
significant and/or innovative initiatives will then be classified, their
outcome and impact assessed, and any gaps identified. Finally, building
upon these various tasks, recommendations will be submitted to the
European Commission and the relevant stakeholders for further action to
be taken to help promote diversity and combat discrimination in the
media.
