After 50 years of continuous increase, the number of EU accredited media has begun to decline. What does this mean for you as a journalist? What are the implications for media diversity and informed reporting? Personally or professionally, we all have views on this. Is the trend inevitable? Can we try to make our work better understood and appreciated?
The International Press Association (IPA/API) invites all Brussels-based correspondents, whether members of the Association or not, to an extraordinary general meetingWHEN: 10am, Thursday 18 MarchWHERE: Polak Room, Residence Press Centre (155 Rue de la Loi, 1040 Brussels)
Media organisations are increasingly downsizing, cost cutting and closing their operations in the capital of Europe
WHY?
Declining interest in EU news? Savings in a financial crisis? Home-based staff recycling freely available, and more plentiful, written and audiovisual news from EU institutions? Arrival of new, more flexible, media?
IMPLICATIONS?
What are the consequences for Brussels–based media, and, more importantly, for informed reporting of the EU?
RESPONSE?
How should we respond? Shrug shoulders and say “Bof”? Accept that increased transparency by EU institutions of their activities is for citizens’ greater good? Acknowledge that media reporting is changing? Develop new ways of working with EU institutions?
COME AND EXPRESS YOUR VIEWS

The Transatlantic Center at the University of Missouri is delighted to invite you to a conference on the future of journalism over the next decade.
It aims to address the following issues:
- Will all journalism be multimedia journalism in ten years’ time? What impact is convergence journalism having on media quality?
- Are we witnessing the last days of free journalism? What economic model can make quality internet journalism pay?
- Why is there less and less international news in an increasingly globalized world?
Panelists
Mike McKean - Director, Futures Lab, Reynolds Journalism Institute, University of Missouri
Wilfried Ruetten - Director, European Journalism Centre
Beth Polish - Senior Vice President, Corporate Innovation, Hearst Interactive Media
Bernard Volker - Assistant Dean, Sciences Po Journalism School, Paris
Host
Brady Deaton - Chancellor, University of Missouri
We’d be delighted if you’d join us for what promises to be a stimulating conversation.

Every year since 1999 Press Cartoon Belgium, or PCB, has awarded the PCB Prizes to the best press cartoons published in Belgium. Last year, on the occasion of its tenth anniversary, PCB launched a new award, Press Cartoon Europe (PCE).
This competition for the Grand Prix is open to all press cartoonists who publish in any European Union member country. For the 2010 award, all press cartoons published in the course of 2009 in any publication available to the general public in any EU member country will be eligible to compete for the Grand Prix. Participation is free of charge.
The jury, composed of journalists from several EU countries, all of whom are accredited by the European parliament in Brussels, will meet on Wednesday 17th February 2010 in Brussels, and will select the winning entry to be awarded the PCE Grand Prix 2010.
The Press Cartoon Europe (PCE) Grand Prix, to be awarded by an international panel of specialists, will be a cash prize of 10,000 Euros.
Cartoonists, who wish to participate in Press Cartoon Europe, are invited to send a confirmation of their interest in competing to nathalie@presscartoon.com. They will then be sent instructions about when, how and where to send three of their best cartoons published in 2009.
