A special highlight was the meeting with #EU Commissioner for Democracy, Justice and Rule of Law @michaelmcgratheu.bsky.social
@renateschroeder.bsky.social and I presented EFJ’s key demands:
#AI: The EFJ publishes its position on an ethical use of AI in journalism. Adopted today by its Steering Committee in Brussels, the EFJ advocates for AI that respects journalistic ethics, fair working conditions, and authors' rights.
#JournalismIsAPublicGood
europeanjournalists.org/blog/2025/09...
The newly elected Steering Committee met with the EU Commissioner for Democracy, Justice and Rule of Law @michaelmcgratheu.bsky.social. Thank you for the fruitful exchange on the challenges for journalism and media freedom 🙏 We are pleased to count you and this Commission among our allies.
The @efjeurope.bsky.social condemns the illegal boarding of the Global Summud flotilla by the Israeli navy and demands the immediate release of the journalists who have been arbitrarily detained, including Spanish journalists Néstor Prieto and Carlos de Barrón.

A recent analysis by OtterlyAI reveals that 29% of the sources ChatGPT cites originate from media, which obviously has a huge impact on the sector. @renateschroeder.bsky.social explains #AI as a rough challenge to “the economic survival of journalism when it comes to copyright and remuneration”.
Listen to Renate Schroeder, EFJ Director's words at yesterday's solidarity action in #Brussels, where we paid tribute to the 219 journalists who lost their lives while reporting on the massive killing of the population in #Gaza. "Stop killing the journalists". @renateschroeder.bsky.social
