January 30, 13:00, Ukraine Crisis Media Center.
Discussion of the draft laws “On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of Ukraine on Ensuring National Information Security and the Right to Access Reliable Information” and “On Media”.
Panelists: leading media experts, media lawyers, well-known bloggers and journalists.
What are the threats posed by the draft laws introduced by Oleksandr Tkachenko and Volodymyr Borodyansky? Whether the possible benefits of their adoption outweigh the possible risks. Whether it is worthwhile to introduce strict regulation of the Ukrainian media today. Whether it is possible in principle to restrict the dissemination of false information by law. Technical aspects of implementing such restrictions. How appropriate is the state’s proposed classification of media, a single press card and the creation of a “Trust Index”. And whether it is right to create the Association of Professional Journalists in the proposed form.
