Project will tackle the issue of media development in Central Europe. The position of journalists and existence of independent media houses is currently seen in danger. When debates are held on this topic, we can mostly hear terms like oligarchization of the media, global financial crisis effects, communist legacy or state pressure. There has been an increase of analysis and articles written on the cross-border basis between journalists from Central Europe (Visegrad Insight, Reporters without borders, Deutsche Welle and more) who tries to describe the situation in their countries and warn about the impacts. Nevertheless, writing about particular events such as a murder of Jan Kuciak, impropriate statements of Czech president about journalists or PiS's attempts to tame the media in Poland doesn’t show the whole picture.
