The right to freedom of expression is under attack precisely at a time when the media landscape is changing, particularly considering the expansion of community journalism. Because of its proximity to local actors, community journalism promotes equity and justice from the bottom up. However, community journalism faces attacks on freedom of expression and other challenges due to its form. This participatory lunch strategic roundtable session will analyze the contributions and challenges of community journalism to better position its work, while also seeking new solutions to strengthen community journalism as a whole in the region.
