History

edit

From October 2015 to March 2016 OBCT has hosted a Wikipedian in Residence in cooperation with Wikimedia Italia and the European Centre for Press and Media Freedom (ECPMF).

Wiki4MediaFreedom built on that, creating or improving articles about media landscapes and media systems in several European countries, as well as items on specific media-related issues, such as transparency of media ownership, media concentration access to public information, censorship and self-censorship in Visegrád countries, the Baltic States, South-east Europe, the Eastern Partnership countries and Turkey.

Community events are also organised, including an edit-a-thon in Belgrade, Serbia on November 21st, 2016, one in Sofia, Bulgaria on the 27th November 2017 and a Writing & Translation contest (May 3rd - 15th July 2018).

Wiki4MediaFreedom is part of the European Centre for Press and Media Freedom (ECPMF) and knowledge works in combination with the Media Freedom Resource Centre.
