Media Freedom at a new Crossroads? A Shared Responsibility in the Digital Age

The larger context of Algayerova’s key-note remarks aligns closely with the theme of the OSCE’s SHDM: civil society’s indispensable role in the protection and promotion of international human rights law. Free media is, after all, one of civil society’s most potent tools. It gives voice to the marginalized, shines light in dark places, and forces accountability on systems that would otherwise operate in secrecy. Without it, the very scaffolding of human rights protection begins to falter.
