kitchen talk: Captured, Contested or Reclaimed? The Battle for Media in Central and Eastern Europe

• Compare the media landscapes of these four nations—what unites them and what sets them apart?
• Discuss strategies for defending press freedom. 🤝
• Forecast the future of cross-border journalism in a politically shifting region.

Whether you're a follower of Central European politics or a player in independent media, there's a seat reserved for you at our table! 🪑
