Dear John,
As the world’s news consumers and voters encounter an increasingly fractured media landscape where misleading and false information run rife, the need for strong, independent public service media is profound.
In Europe, we have seen governments harm the reputation and independence of public media to the point of limiting their citizens’ access to differing points of view. Reversing years of political pressure on weakened or totally co-opted outlets is a tall order. But newly elected governments are seizing the opportunity to do just that.

Citizens face harsh legal and extralegal punishments for online expression and a highly restrictive environment for media both online and off.
