🎉Congrat to our long term partner #ZiaruldeGarda for winning the 2025 #EuropeanPressPrize! The undercover work of ZdG’s reporters allowed to uncover the unprecedented scale of pre elections interference of pro Russian politicians in 2024. We are proud of our collaboration with Ziarul de Garda!

Today I participate in the Olympics. Well, almost. The meeting of the Venice Club is taking place in the Zappione - a building constructed for the first modern Olympic Games in 1896. My input will be on building the resilience of societies, including the media, as we do at @freepressunlimited.org

'The resilience of #journalism gives us hope' says Maryia Sadouskaya-Komlach. On #WorldTalks @tvpworld.bsky.social Maryia talks about what keeps independent journalism alive, even in the face of #disinformation, #censorship & growing political pressure. ➡️ ow.ly/r7EW50VMtGV #WPFD @maryias.bsky.social

A message on #WPFD2025 shared with @tvpworld.bsky.social today: The world should better protect journalists and press freedom, as w/out free media people won't be able to make informed choices influencing their lives and safety. If media lose, disinfo wins, but everyone else loses.

To all Syrians I know: I hope this moment brings lasting and deserved positive change. Fingers crossed for a democratic Syria.

Got a present from colleagues who believe this defines my role in the organisation (life?) better than official titles.

This “russian” shop in the middle of Zagreb sells Ukrainian pastry, Georgian mineral water, Belarusian cosmetics (“last items bought before sanctions”) and lots of Germany-made pickled and canned foods. That’s how they see Russia, I guess. Or its aspirations.

While a speedy railway between Warsaw and Vilnius is something to dream of, and probably not in our generation’s lifetime, finishing roadworks in two places makes it possible to travel for just 5 hours - or 6 with stops. In #lithuania for the next 3 days. Sky as blue as can be locally.

More on how, when we look at military rules of engagement, we can see how the information battlefield civilians find themselves on is appalling bad And it doesn’t need to be, but now everyone thinks this is how they get power www.greatpower.us/p/rules-of-e...

For those who may have missed it: Polish prime minister @donald-tusk.bsky.social has joined Bluesky (confirmed on the Letter platform). Wouldn’t expect too much revelations but wld expect the influx of other Polish politicians pretty soon. Maybe it’s since sky is so grey in Poland in November…

Useful tips from alma mater… can’t say I agree with all but there is always a nuance in how autocracies operate and it’d be a mistake to think that all their features demonstrate at once.
