Dear Members, Colleagues and Friends !
We have the pleasure to invite you to join us in an informal discussion we’ll have with MEP Jean-Marie Cavada (ALDE, France) on Wednesday December 3 from 4.00 to 5.30 pm.
Jean-Marie Cavada (Epinal 1940) is a former journalist and President of Radio France. He is an MEP since 2004 and presided over the media intergroup in the previous legislature.

We have also invited some media experts as well as some Belgian MEP’s to join us in the discussion.
The debate with Mr. Cavada and his Belgian colleagues gives us the opportunity to obtain a more concrete view on how in the new EP legislature MEP’s will pay attention to media and to the concerns of journalists in the ever changing media landscape. As correspondents, most of us have made peace with their dependence on digital mega-industries but there remain a lot of questions.
Journalism delivers operating fuel for many businesses but does not always get an honest return-on-investment for it. How can the EU help to disclose the necessary sums for investment in R&D and innovation for a media respectful of European traditions and values, for a free and independent media ? What about the investment gap with the US ? How can work conditions be made better and labor opportunities for journalists be realised and the way EU institutions attribute tenders to media companies be improved ? There are many more questions that we must have the courage to face.
Venue : the former Luxemburg Station, now the Representation Office of the European Parliament in Belgium at Place Luxembourg / Luxemburgplein, Brussels.
You are warmly welcome as of 3.30 pm.
We count on you ! The discussion will be both in French and in English. Questions can also be addressed in Dutch and German. See you on 3 December !

Comme à l'époque de la presse papier, photo noir et blanc avec grains... la question a été évoquée, la presse papier va-t-elle survivre ?
C'est donc ce 03 décembre 2014 que l'AEJ a organisé une conférence débat avec Monsieur Jean-Marie Cavada 74 ans, ancien grand journaliste français et actuel député européen. Le débat très intéressant portait sur les médias actuel, l'avenir des médias, le journalisme et la façon d'exercer la profession de façon déontologique. Nous avons également parlé de l'avenir de l'Europe... Tout un programme. Assia dernièrement promue membre de l'Association des Journalistes Européens assistait à sa première rèunion, toute l'équipe lui a souhaité la bienvenue !!!
