A few month ago the Council of Europe published a study authored by our Partner Asja Roksa Zubcevic. A few days ago, the findings of this study have been discussed at an event organised by the Vijeće Evrope - Ured u Sarajevu - Council of Europe Office in Sarajevo, and Asja had also the opportunity to be interviewed by Jelena Kalinic.

Asja cooperated with her former colleagues from Communications Regulatory Agency of BiH (CRA) in the preparation of the study “Towards coregulation of harmful content online in Bosnia and Herzegovina - A study of European standards and co-regulatory practices for combating harmful content online”.

The study focuses on the modalities for the establishment of a functioning and comprehensive cooperative co and regulatory mechanism, particularly considering the Digital Services Act (DSA), especially important for countries with EU candidate status.

The link towards the study can be found at the very end of the interview.

Today, WH is so proud of our Partner Asja Roksa Zubcevic and our Associate Martina Chapman, for having authored this outstanding report on the new concept of "media freedom literacy" (MFL) for the OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media.

MFL is defined by the report as "the knowledge and skills that enhance citizens ability to understand and value the democratic functions of the media and other information providers, online and offline, and the importance of a pluralistic, well-functioning media landscape serving the public interest, including critical evaluation and ethical production of information and media content".

A must read for all those who believe in the importance of both media freedom and media literacy for the health of democracy, and who are ready to work to foster them in these troubles times.

The European Audiovisual Observatory - Observatoire européen de l'audiovisuel has published two mapping reports that Wagner-Hatfield Partners Jean-François Furnémont and Asja Roksa Zubcevic have co-authored with the Department for Legal of Information of the Observatory (Maja Cappello, Sophie Valais and Justine Radel).

The first one ("Mapping report on the rules applicable video-sharing platforms: focus on commercial communications") covers all EU member states, Norway and the UK. It provides a detailed, country-by-country analysis of national audiovisual law and the provisions in place to regulate commercial communications carried by video sharing platforms, and includes a pan-European comparative analysis. It reflects the state of play of October 2022.

The second one ("Mapping of national rules applicable to video-sharing platforms: harmful and illegal content online") also includes a pan-European comparative analysis, detailed country profiles, as well as the perspective of industry stakeholders. It reflects the state of play of May 2021 and contains information following an update in September 2022.
