The Resource Centre on Media Freedom in Europe (RC) is managed by OBC Transeuropa (OBCT) within the Media Freedom Rapid Response (MFRR), a consortium of six partners tracking, monitoring and reacting to violations of press and media freedom in EU Member States and Candidate Countries.

Our platform offers access to a collection of analysis and background material exploring media freedom and pluralism in Europe, and it also helps contextualise alerts issued on the Mapping Media Freedom.
