As politics in Eastern Europe becomes increasingly volatile during the super election year, press freedom is at grave risk. Throughout the pre- and post-election periods, independent media face numerous threats, including verbal and physical assaults, cyber attacks, smear campaigns, and vexatious lawsuits.
As the dust settles on the European Parliament elections, and Central and Eastern Europe gears up for more elections on local and national levels, we analyze the state of press freedom in Poland, Slovakia and Bulgaria with the leading journalists from these countries and members of IPI’s Central Europe Independent Media Network. We also delve into the media environments in the pre- and post-election periods and examine the major challenges journalists face when covering elections.
