With the current situation in Ukraine\, we all see the power of media propaganda and how badly it can affect people’s minds and efforts to normalize the situation. In a democratic society\, media independence should be burdened with responsibility and this is what we are trying to promote in Georgia as well as the entire ENP region” said Boris Iarochevitch\, Acting Head of the EU Delegation to Georgia. \nNotes \n•The full project title is: Media Neighbourhood: (European Neighbourhood and Partnership Instrument) ENPI- Regional Communication Programme 2011–2013: Journalist Training and Networking. The project is strengthening the professional capacity of journalists particularly in the areas of media independence and online media\, enabling the public in the European Neighbourhood to better understand the European Union policies and cooperation activities. It creates an active and sustainable professional journalism network linking journalists and editors from the European Neighbourhood\, both among themselves and with European journalists. Media Neighbourhood project increases awareness and knowledge among journalists of media ethics and effective and impartial investigative reporting standards and improves the capacity for media in the region to operate as financially viable and professional independent businesses. The EU Neighbourhood area covers 16 countries and territories participating in the European Neighbourhood policy (ENP) plus the Russian Federation. ENP was developed by the EU with the main objective of avoiding the emergence of a division between the enlarged EU and its neighbours. It strives to strengthen prosperity\, stability and security for all. \n• MediaNeighbourhood is a EU funded project is implemented by a BBC Media Action led consortium consisting of IREX Europe\, Fondation AFP\, SociétéGénérale de Presse et d’Editions.a.l.

We believe media can inspire and support individuals and transform societies. We work with media to help reduce poverty and promote rights around the world. Media helps people make sense of events\, engage in dialogue\, and shape their own lives. Yet many millions still lack access to free\, reliable and practical information.
