The Eurasian Media Forum is the most prominent international media initiative in Eurasia aimed at defining the strategic role of Eurasia in world affairs, exploring a new approach to international relations, promoting equality of access to reliable public information throughout the area and encouraging the highest standards of journalism.
Johann Fritz, Director, International Press Institute, Austria
At the first conference of the Eurasian Media Forum (EAMF 2002), the organisers started a 'tradition' of designating Partner Organisations, which were willing to cooperate and assist in structuring the working sessions. Since the International Press Institute was able to cooperate with the organisers of EAMF 2003 and to propose a press freedom debate as one of the conference working sessions, IPI gladly accepts its partnership with EAMF.
