September 2022 Newsletter: Highlights from the Fazana Media Fest and More!

What a week we had at Fazana! Just over a week ago, Media Diversity Institute had the honour of co-organising the fourth Fazana Media Festival which took place in Croatia. Dozens of our team members and project partners were in attendance, with some of us meeting in person for the first time.

The week consisted of a range of thought-provoking panels and excellent guests discussing topics like, ‘are we all products on digital platforms?’, position of women in the media, the media, journalists and violence towards women – an exchange of existing practices, and finally, representation of women in the media – improvement of policies.
