#SOFJO Conference 2019: Increasing Opportunities for Freedom of Expression and Media Pluralism

Organized by
The SOFJO 2019 conference, Increasing Opportunities for Freedom of Expression and Media Plurality will take place on 12 February at the OSCE Conference Center at the Hofburg in Vienna. Given the increase in online harassment and threats made against women journalists as a means to threaten, intimidate and silence dissenting voices, and especially because online violence is often a precursor to physical violence, this discussion is more relevant than ever.
The conference will feature a number of panels on topics ranging from policy developments and challenges, identification of counter measures and the nature of offenses against women journalists as well as a screening, for those who were unable to attend the December premier, of the recently released SOFJO documentary, “A Dark Place”.
