ABOUT US
Journalists @ Your Service (J@YS) is a help centre and information hub for journalists providing professional advice and assistance to journalists covering Brussels and the EU.
So far so good
J@YS was created 10 years ago coinciding with the launch of the International Press Centre at the Residence Palace, which was the highpoint of the then Belgian EU Presidency.
Some of the objectives we have aimed at included providing a constant stream of advice to journalists in Brussels on professional and daily issues; organising stimulating debates about current issues of concern to journalists; and establishing an information contact point that would put Brussels journalism on the European map.
Ten years on J@YS has done very well. We have organised plenty of seminars and many briefings for journalists to help them understand the riddle of the Belgian tax system, or how to survive as freelancers, how to make sense of their authors’ rights or how to get to grips with the financial jargon. We have held challenging debates on various topics like the complex Belgian political system; and we have also published a useful booklet with contacts and information for working journalists, which is revised and updated every year.
J@YS services include
* Information for journalists and the press in Brussels and Belgium.
* Regular briefings, debates and events of interest to journalists.
* Updated diary of news events for journalists and media.
* Navigation through sources of information available in the city.
* Access to the work of major national and international political institutions.
* Additional advice on legal, financial, professional and union issues.
