OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media meets with Ambassador of Denmark

In a meeting on 9 February with Danish Ambassador René Dinesen, the OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media (RFoM), Teresa Ribeiro, took positive note of the current media situation in Denmark.

They discussed several issues regarding media freedom, including the impact of artificial intelligence on the freedom of expression and the challenges posed to media freedom by the ongoing COVID-19 crisis.

Ribeiro welcomed the Danish government’s initiative, in early 2020, to provide a compensation scheme to financially support the media during the COVID-19 pandemic.

She underlined that the OSCE can play a significant role as a platform for the exchange of similar good practice amongst the OSCE participating States.
