To enoinU sberT naboqbal to Z 8121 -3REPORT OF THE GENERAL SECRETARY the state Introducing his report, the General Secretary said the IFJ had experienced difficulties because a number of major founding members upon whom the Federation had depended in the past had experienced severe financial problems. The IFJ had lost a considerable amount of its income. It had been necessary to make budget cuts, but to try to maintain or increase levels of activity while preserving the IFJ's independence and self- sufficiency in its core work. The IFJ Executive Committee had, as instructed by the previous Congress, maintained a hard line in matters of financial policy. This had begun to work. In parallel to the financial problems, the IFJ faced a deluge of membership applications and severe pressure to answer the needs of all unions for practical and concrete activities. The IFJ Executive Committee had encouraged regional work and the creation of regional organisations to encourage efficiency in use of resources and to empower national unions to play a more direct role in IFJ work. As a result, the IFJ secretariat had become more of a co- ordinating and supervising body. He said the IFJ had received enhanced recognition within the United Nations system having been granted category A consultative status within Unesco. There was clear acknowledgement of the authority of the IFJ as the sole representative organisation of journalists. Regrettably, he said, some groups human rights organisations and press freedom groups continued to give the impression that they, too, were speaking for the world community of journalists. This would diminish as the IFJ global range of representation was increasingly recognised. -- -- IFJ had begun co- operation with the international publishers organisation, a move about which some Executive Committee members and unions has reservations. However, the Executive had made a distinction between industrial differences, the question of social dialogue, and the need for co- operation in defence of human rights. cont The IFJ made no concessions on its commitment to the defence of professional and trade union rights in the face of employer exploitation of the media market. The level of political corruption and social exploitation within the industry was rising and journalists were witnessing attempts to deprofessionalise their work. The IFJ vigorously and strongly opposed these developments. In Europe IFJ unions had been active on a range of issues. But the landscape had been extended beyond the European Union and support was needed for efforts by nied A லார் gU - 4- Eastern European unions to build a new and fresh democratic trade union tradition 0 out of a culture of censorship. Regarding Africa, the Media For Democracy programme had been successful. Prior to Congress, a conference had considered the activity. He said that the results of the work of the MFD programme were being used in other regions. For the first time, the MFD programme had allowed the IFJ to build resources from Africa. Every region could benefit. In Asia, the IFJ regional office had some early start- up problems. But steps were being taken to establish it as a permanent and lasting part of IFJ activity. Asia would become a major player in the world economy within a few years and the struggle for press freedom would intensify. He thanked unions from Japan, Australia and Malaysia which had helped the IFJ to set up the regional office. In Latin America, the General Secretary recalled that a regional office was functioning for a number of years. In addition, a regional group was being set up. The IFJ had a framework for co- operation which would be greatly improved with the admission of the Brazilian organisation FENAJ to the IFJ. Referring to the IFJ Safety Work, he said the IFJ Safety Fund continued to help journalists most in need, according to clearly defined rules. He thanked unions for their support and particularly thanked Marie- Anne Paquet who had administered the fund with expertise and compassion.( Applause). ol bounithop-- 201 bas In the discussion on the General Secretary's report, many points were raised which were formulated into policy resolutions. The IFJ affiliate in Athens, Greece, reported that unification of Greek journalists would be put into effect shortly through the creation of a Federation of Greek journalists. T uggs 00 nsgio vodi bed 17 ना Juods woH asup The Uganda affiliate called on the IFJ to condemn countries, and especially Uganda, enacting laws which had aimed at suppressing the press freedom. In addition, there was an urgent need for Ugandan journalists to acquire professional edg training to have access to employment. IFJ was asked to shift focus from short term training to training seminars. zolame to ein noinu abs The General Secretary of Alliance of Independent Journalists( Indonesia) Santoso addressed the Congress in reading an open letter to Congress from Ahmad Taufik ( Head of AJI's Presidium) and Eko Maryadi( AJI's member) who were detained in a prison in Jakarta, awaiting trial. They thanked the IFJ for its solidarity and the visit of an IFJ mission to Indonesia a few weeks earlier. 28181 good -5--The Indian Journalists Union expressed regret that India had been designated as " partly- free" in a review of the state of press freedom in the world prepared by the Journalists' Safety Service. The press was free in India, he said. The Israel National Federation drew the attention of Congress to the difficulties A facing supporters of trades unionism in Israel and reported on an internal scandal within the Israeli press over tapping of journalists' telephones and subversive activity between competing news organisations. CONGRESS THEMES: Delt 1. sand boog s bobive MEDIA IN THE SERVICE OF SOCIETY - Two IFJ background papers Self- Regulation or Legislation: Journalists and Professional Ethics and Information Society: Access and Pluralism had been circulated to Congress delegates. INFORMATION SOCIETY od to lo tilsup 101 bes0& 867 Professor Alain Laramée from the University of Quebec, Montreal, an expert on problems facing journalists as a result of the convergence of communications technologies, introduced the debate on information society developments. He examined the different players in the information society process: the new media were seen as a technical adventure by the engineers; for the business world they represented rich territory for commercial exploitation; for policymakers the new media provided new cultural and social products with the potential to have a dramatic impact on the public services. As presently developed half of the prosperity and income flowing from the information society would go to the United States while the other 50 per cent would be divided between Japan and Europe. Isom bris simonos gnibuloni Industrialised countries would become dependent on technology and it was clear that there was a tendency to give a commercial value to all of the information content. ob's gobs av gniwollo imdsa The main threat was from the treatment of all information as a tradeable commodity. It could pave the way to a society divided in two levels of development, one with the means and knowledge, and the others, either without the means to participate or, in some cases, without the expertise and skills needed to become engaged in the process. This division would exist in all regions, but would gold be particularly pronounced in the poorer regions of the world. noiboqmo ad Jo nsqsl -6--2 There was a growing risk that information would be politically devalued and he warned of the danger of anti- democratic exploitation of technologies which would erode freedoms. A number of strategies were already in place to counter these negative possibilities. In the US, freenets had been set- up. Pressures on governments to call for national policies on the issue and for the creation of" counter- powers" to respect a democratic range were also essential. In addition, he said there was a need to develop programmes focusing on media influence towards democracy. The IFJ Media For Democracy programme provided a good base for national action. In the discussion a number of points were highlighted: * the that speculation by technical and commercial interests prevented clarity on the exact consequences of the information superhighways. In particular, there was a lack of knowledge on how the changes would affect the work of journalists; had a that there was a need for quality control of the content of news and information services. The democratic principles of accountability, openness, and human rights in society through pluralism in services and rights of universal access had to be protected; yinsq" uol T gniost отч Jonq * that national cultures should be preserved from the phenomenon of standardization of information; SH that national efforts to regulate developments were not sufficient and that a world- wide approach was essential; * that governments were ignorant of and insensitive to the rights of authors 2112 The including journalists. Laws to improve and protect economic and moral Ugand rights were needed. Following the debate a number of resolutions were adopted and a detailed motion submitted by the Latin- American Group( Gal- Fip) on Information Society was agreed and remitted to the IFJ Executive Committee Meeting for its consideration. The Geor PUBLIC SERVICE BROADCASTING ( Head off Delegates from all regions reported on a number of developments. IFJ affiliates in Japan outlined the effects of deregulation in that country. Within the Japanese Broadcasting industry the competition from foreign satellite broadcasting would become keen once the deregulation would be put into effect fully. Competition for Rubnl щоэ olevab -7viewers and market share would lower the high standards of television journalism. Strategies were needed to oppose these developments. Producers and television programmers must prepare quality programmes which might not be commercially viable. Talent and creativity, above all, should be favoured in public service broadcasting. The IFJ affiliate in Great Britain strongly supported the need for developing the public television sector-- the most important to help the cultural development of society and opposed vigorously the lowering of standards through excessive commercialisation and deregulation. -- Delegates agreed that a public service should serve the interests of all segments of the society. A public administration was necessary to accompany media action in the interest of society. Fears were also expressed over foreign broadcasters imposing cultural hegemony while ignoring social rights. In South Africa, Public Service Broadcasting had won the battle against state M ST control. Its importance should be further defined and protected in order to empower the voiceless in South African society. The IFJ was thanked for its work to support South African journalists. gue. The representative of the European Broadcasting Union( EBU) representative said that independence from political and financial power centres was the main criteria which had been fixed by EBU to define a public service in broadcasting. Alliances were needed in the fight between a purely market orientated approach and those who favoured a spirit of pluralism of information and freedom of access to services. In Europe, the IFJ had launched a co- operation with EBU. Successful actions in Europe would have beneficial effects on the rest of the world. Points made in the discussion included: * * that governments and the commercial broadcasting industry were determined to support deregulation; texts that the primary concern of media barons was to maximise advertising revenue regardless of the need for diversity, plurality and quality; that new technologies, which suppressed national borders, meant a need for regulation at international level. Regulation had to guarantee a voice for all ( including minorities, linguistic and ethic groups) and journalists should not be subject to a political line defined by a proprietor or government or political representative; * -8olivala to abisbala digid sdi wol bluow sade schism bns ziwsiv here that broadcasting had to guarantee proper educational and innovative sigsten programmes. Because of its immediacy, public service broadcasting was at erode the core of freedom of expression. It was vital to preserve it where it existed and to expand it where it did not. ETHICS AND INFORMATION Delegates considered how new technologies in communication would require also a review of policy on ethics. The IFJ had noted a link between the demands of private capital and poor journalistic ethics and a definite relationship existed between the degree of professional freedom and the degree of particular responsibility which journalists exhibited towards their readers and listeners. But ethic was more than a code of behaviour. The Union of Journalists in Russia said that journalists' power was not absolute today. Too much financial power and a lack of regulation threatened the ethical behaviour in the profession. The NUJ of Great Britain and Ireland welcomed the report on ethics and encouraged all delegates to consider how to implement some of the thoughtful suggestions it contained. Other points raised in the discussion were: * * * * agreed that if ethical journalism was expected from journalists then they had to receive adequate wages and conditions to work; that unions and journalists at the workplace should act together to enforce ethical behaviour; that there was a need for a trade union strategy for ethics. How to develop such a strategy would be a priority for the IFJ in the coming years; that the rise of fascism in the West, the ethnic conflicts, the rise of fundamentalism were raising an array of ethical and professional questions- - portrayal in the media and equal access to employment. - that the problem of becoming, wittingly or unwittingly, an instrument of conflict escalation could be addressed by a proper and equal access to PUBLIemployment in the media; that race equality was far from being achieved in terms of employment in the media. It was necessary to establish guidelines dealing with access to employment such as those adopted by the NUJ in Great Britain and Ireland who reported that the British Broadcasting Foundation( BBC) had divided 12 siv bilduq 100 gmi Ituo2 -9- OI In Swa set of policies to target 8% of black employment by the end of this journa century. * to c * the eal de that a symposium on Racism and the Media would take place in the Netherlands on June 16-18, 1995. It was organised by the NVJ, in the Netherlands and the AGJPB in Belgium. that structures had to be set up to enable people to work together against a single employer and that it was urgent to include in collective agreements the ethical role of journalists. A debate developed on the situation in Rwanda and former Yugoslavia which proved the most challenging tests of ethics. By publishing and broadcasting hate speech and war propaganda media in these regions had effectively helped forge war between communities. fran A motion was submitted by the Independent Union of Professional Journalists from Bosnia Herzegovina on the issue calling for reference of journalists and media organisations implicated in such activity to be referred to the International War Crimes Tribunal at The Hague. However, delegates expressed concern at the notion of identifying journalists as criminals and the IFJ playing a role in such work.After an extensive debate, the Congress asked for the motion to be withdrawn and redrafted to make clear that journalist's misconduct, even in such horrifying conditions, should be dealt by the profession and not by legal tribunals. It was noted that foreign journalists on assignment in these regions should look at having an open view of the situation in contacting all media and their organisations ( both official and independent press).

TRADE UNION PROGRAMME FREELANCES bluode eno Inamngiaas ilsmidoj astonq on gnivad Members of the IFJ Freelance Working Party introduced the discussion with an iod) outline of the situation of freelances. Freelances were being receiving increasing demands but not receiving proper recognition. Freelances had to be more professional, to be fully aware of the new market possibilities and, above all, to be able to compete fairly and freely in the labour market. of 21 At the same time, freelances faced loss of copyright, falling rates of pay, the use of new technologies to lower social benefits. The number of freelances was increasing due to a range of factors both because of technological changes and because of commercial pressure in media to reduce fixed labour costs. equality was from 11 terms A new market was emerging. In some enterprises staff journalists were forced to accept a freelance contract against their will. More and more journalists had to drift outside the security of fully employed work. - 11- SI In Sweden a project funded by the union existed between freelances and staff journalists. It aimed at having a freelance contact person at every workplace. Unions should organise freelances for freelance positions could undermine staff journalists' positions in the long run. It was essential that solidarity between freelances and staff journalists be promoted. Training courses, guidelines on how to create a model contract, how to get insurances etc. should be prepared. nqolavab laligib A motion on freelances submitted by the Danish Union was submitted to amend the proposal from the IFJ Executive Committee proposal on the issue. In order to deal with the local circumstances, the amendment favoured the setting- up of regional special freelance groups instead of one international group. These groups would exchange information through the IFJ office. Commillee In the debate, fears were expressed against the motion which seemed to regard the freelances as a category opposed to another category( staff journalists). Unity was preferred to division. Freelance problems should be resolved in the framework of general agreements negotiated by the union. In France, the freelance problems had been solved through the adoption of a law negotiated by the union. The IFJ Austrian union was proposing bi- lateral contracts on legal aid to freelances. IFJ unions were invited to follow the Austrian approach. Isur It was reported that a new IFJ freelance handbook( English version) had been prepared for Congress. A French version would be available in the coming weeks. AUTHOR'S RIGHTS loups no lezo The IFJ Author's Rights Working Group introduced the discussion. The IFJ Working Party had been transformed into a specialist group of journalists coming from IFJ unions which would closely monitor and react in the copyright field. A The coming of integrated electronic media had increased media organisation pressure to control of copyright. Ownership of copyright could be divided up into territory, time and media. However, there was evidence that media companies sought to gain copyright without limits of time and territory. The information society developments could make copyright much more profitable for them. It long would encourage employers to push staff journalists into freelancing. Copyright was an issue linking the interests of freelance and staff journalists in efforts to maintain pay and conditions under extreme pressures from multinational owners. Sharing information was essential as was the need to organise international coordinated action against media multinationals. unisian union - 12-- smuoj The economic and cultural importance of intellectual property was clear: it w2 nl represented up to 6 percent of the gross domestic product in industrialised countries. Following the General Agreement of Trade and Tariffs( GATT) noinU intellectual property had been addressed under trade agreements which did not deal with moral rights. WIPO would have to act to counter this. In the future, WIPO siset would have to develop international copyright system such as the effects of 15 of digitalization.

In the Basque country( Spain), authors' rights were recognised but the journalists were deprived of them. noinu ort OTHER TRADE UNION ISSUES bi bis Isgol no lo mail- id gnieog On Equal Opportunities, Congress endorsed a proposal to send a message to the Director General of the BBC, welcoming the signing of the Charter for Equal Opportunities for Women in Broadcasting at an international broadcasters conference being held in London at the same time as Congress. In relation with the IFJ Executive Committee proposal on equal opportunities, a point of order was raised calling for the adoption of the EBU paper on Equal Opportunities. A motion dealing with the participation to the UN Beijing conference would be considered. In that context, it would be appropriate to ask that gender equality as a basic human rights be accepted. On trade union affairs, the IFJ General Secretary pointed out that IFJ had undertaken more professional training and had placed an emphasises on professionalism. There had been a decline of direct trade union work. g ST He advised strongly that the imbalance should be redressed.

An IFJ statement on media solidarity against violence, intolerance and poverty was endorsed.( Appendix 3). The Director of the Communication Division of Unesco made a statement to Congress on behalf of the Director General of Unesco. Congress paid tribute to the work of IFJ Treasurer and a moving spirit in the IFJ safety programme Rob Bakker who had died suddenly at the age of 42 on May 7 1994. mduz diw an 191 no noitulo Hans Verploeg on behalf of the Netherlands Association of Journalists( NVJ) said that in the early 1980s Bakker had dedicated himself to the improvement of the journalists' safety. He had prepared the fundamental basis of an electronic safety network developed with the NVJ and his companion Amaia Esparza. The JSS electronic data base continued to function on a daily basis gathering facts on violations of journalists' rights. He added that Rob Bakker had also conducted dangerous missions for the IFJ in Turkey, El Salvador, Guatemala and Peru, seeking to improve the safety of journalists. Furthermore it was recalled that he dedicated all his free time to the NVJ, to IFJ treasury and safety work. To honour his memory, the NVJ Board and all his friends, including IFJ General Secretary, had decided to found the R. Bakker Memorial Award. It would be presented each year on the Press Freedom Day to a person who had made a significant contribution to the cause of press freedom and safety of journalists. of hoqque bas yd boilimo Verploeg recalled that IFJ and its unions were assisting the independent media in former Yugoslavia. Regarding Algeria, the IFJ Safety Fund would assist journalists willing to escape their country for some weeks. The NVJ would also contribute 9,000 US$ to the Algerian cause. Finally, he said, his union had sought and obtained some 200,000 US$ to help build the journalists' safety work within the framework of the IFJ. Undue egno 100S ali laod of val noilule The first 1995 IFJ Bakker Memorial Award was presented to Iskak Santoso, General Secretary of Aliansi Jurnalis Independen( AJI) from Indonesia.

He was a trade union leader, a journalist and had shown his commitment to the cause for solidarity and independence by risking his freedom to attend the Congress.( Applause) 1sd) bisa Inwob izolo sew Santoso thanked the IFJ for the award. He would share this honour with his friends and colleagues from AJI who were threatened with imprisonment. The Congress endorsed a letter to be sent to President Soeharto calling for: a) b) the release from prison of AJI leaders( Ahmad Taufik, Eko Maryadi and Danang Wardoyo); the lifting of all measures preventing AJI members from working noite freely as journalists; c) bed action from the government to maintain media pluralism. It was reported that Goenawan Mohamad, Editor- in- Chief of Tempo one of the news media banned by the Indonesian government in 1994 had won his case for the right to publish. A letter would be sent to the Minister of Information, Mr. Harmoko, calling for the renewing of publishing licences of Tempo, and the other banned magazines Detik and Editor magazines. In his report on human rights, the General Secretary pointed out that problems facing journalists and independent media had not begun to subside with the geopolitical changes that had taken place since 1989. Problems had intensified. The IFJ should look at making more effective interventions and provide more practical assistance. The IFJ credibility had been greatly enhanced by the commitment of journalists' unions to help journalists in other parts of the world. The IFJ Safety Fund was the practical expression of real solidarity. An appeal to IFJ unions to contribute again to the safety fund was renewed. Coalition with partners to secure safety support was essential and Unesco had played a leading role in the defence of human rights in former Yugoslavia, Asia, Palestine and Africa. Initiatives taken by the Council of Europe to improve the protection of journalists in Europe would contribute in a very positive way to the efforts undertaken by the IFJ at a worldwide level. An extensive report on the situation in Algeria was introduced by Ahmed Toumiat from the Algerian Association of Journalists. In Algeria journalists were being targeted. Some 37 had been killed so far. Those who sought to impose a totalitarian islamic regime were striking at the last democratic bastion in Algeria, the 5350 - 16-1 independent and free press. He expressed concern at the attitude of the authorities.01 obsm Protection of journalists and press workers was far from being a top priority for them. In addition, the financial state of publishing media enterprises was worsening qobni due to a lack of Governmental aid. Newspapers were closing down. He said that legal pressures on journalists forced them to exert self- censorship. He thanked the IFJ and its unions for their solidarity. A report on Russia was introduced by Vsevolod Bogdanov, President of Union of Journalists in Russia. His country was becoming a dangerous territory for journalists. Seventeen journalists had been killed in 1994 and early 1995. Journalists had become the target from professional killers who were not prosecuted by the Government. But positive steps were taken and a programme to help journalists on safety had been defined by his union. In addition, an agreement contract with the authorities would be negotiated in order to amend the legislation in the field. A hot- line had been set up and an insurance company had accepted to cover journalists. bas T Congress agreed to send a letter to the President of National Assembly in sw il Cambodia asking him to secure a press law for Cambodia guaranteeing freedom of expression without fearing the application of laws enabling criminal penalties for their journalistic work. An appeal was launched to revise the verdict threatening the Director of" Voice of Khmer Youth". Additional reports on the situation of human rights in their country were made by delegates from Morocco, Hungary, India and Bulgaria. Responding to the debate, the General Secretary outlined the need for IFJ handbooks to help unions meet the challenge of safety and protection of their members. The Danish Union of Journalists presented a cheque for 723,138 BF to the IFJ Safety Fund. The Union of Cyprus Journalists announced it would contribute 1000 US$ to the fund. The Moroccan Union, announced that, jointly with an Artists' union in Morocco, it had collected funds for the IFJ safety fund.

He regretted that in North America, the United States was not present at this congress, new executive committee would have to face challenge to integrate North American affiliates in the regional programme of work. Increasingly, he said the IFJ headquarters and Executive Committee saw the need for effective co- ordination and practical regional work. The Executive Committee recognised that the changes in the IFJ also meant that the Federation's constitution and rules might have to be altered. Therefore, the Executive was proposing to set up a Constitution Commission. In other areas too-- ethics and internal democracy the time was right to review the IFJ's policies and structures and all of this would be carried out by the Constitution Commission. The process of evolution within the IFJ was continuing. -- Congress Decisions Cambodia The following is the list of resolutions on regional work agreed by Congress.

IFJ PERSPECTIVES motion on th Report of Finance Commission The Finance Commission comprised G. Glattfelder( IFJ treasurer), J. Ecclestone ( NUJ), S. Wormslev( Denmark), A. Skjeseth( Norway), H. Verploeg( NVJ), H. Wenk( IG Medien), A. Krimms( Austria), R. Mejia( Peru). go it to OH G. Glattfelder, presented the Finance Report on behalf of the Executive Committee. The financial situation was still not good, but had improved over the last three years. Outside funding was important to provide project funds for IFJ activity. Two anoin thirds of total turnover of IFJ in 1994 came from project funds, one third from membership fees. The Executive Committee was concerned about the amount of bad debts and fees due from member unions. It had been agreed that all unions had to pay, but aware of difficult situation of unions the Executive Committee was willing to make arrangements for payment. But the unitive had to be taken by unions. At least 20 unions had sought and obtained arrangements. The financial policy remained that of cutting costs and building up reserves. Hans Verploeg( NVJ) rapporteur for the Finance Commission, said the Commission had considered the financial report and proposals regarding finance which had been made to Congress. The Assistance Fund had been discussed as had the proposal to amend the constitution to increase the allocation of the Fund to 5% of total budget. Th The Financial Commission had agreed the following recommendations to the IFJ Executive Committee's motion on finances related to amendments to IFJ Constitution: point 1): to support, but as a matter of financial policy not as a change to the IFJ Constitution to A b anigho tib point 2): to support point 3): to refer this to the Executive Committee for action point 4): to support the principle. However, the actual figure should be determined by the Executive Committee. T In the debate, some Congress delegates expressed the need to establish a financial control commission. The Finance Commission functioned only at Congress. More control was needed and such work should start well in advance of Congress. The Austrian union had proposed some months ago to establish a control commission, not made up of members of the Executive Committee but responsible - 20- er directly to Co Congress. Congress agreed that this issue would be referred to the Constitution Commission to prepare a proposal for the next Congress. was some Подзя Force Ouvriere, France, supported the financial report but disagreed with the proposals from the finance commission. They opposed the upper limit of affiliation T fees of 17,000 members. Presents should not be given to large unions in a period( LUM) of financial problems. ( un XnsW However, it was made clear that ceiling was a way to ensure more realistic system.D of registration and that it did not affect the number of votes to which all member unions were entitled. The General Secretary agreed that the figure was arbitrary, but it was evident that the larger unions IFJ had did not declare accurately their regular membership to IFJ and the aim was to make it clear that the IFJ would not penalise unions for being large, and to encourage them to move towards a full and accurate declaration of their real membership. Congr Other Issues: The follo abrid ST sub lo quoz bad ograms bad enoinu ST H A proposal regarding relations with the International Organisation of Journalists, submitted by the National Union of Journalists and amended by the IG Medien from Germany, was intensively discussed. This motion was further amended to noo bad delete a point asking that staff and leadership of IFJ should create regular working connections with staff and leadership of IOJ. oms T The General Secretary said that the Executive Committee proposed that the IFJ should formally recognise its historical tradition as dating from the creation of the original organisation in 1926 and not from the formation of the modern Federation an in 1952. This the Executive believed provided a basis for recognition that the difference of the 1940s should be set in their proper historical perspective.

Just 20 years ago journalists and intellectuals of this country were not allowed prees freedom and the freedom of expression. The ones that stood up against the dictatorship and called for democratic conditions and social justice were persecuted, imprisoned, tortured and sometimes even killed- and a great number of writers and artists had to go into exile. Now Spain can be proud of claiming itself a democratic country and an open and free society. But we know too well that around the world there are only 110 to 115 countries that can do the same. And we know from the dramatic increased violence against journalists with more than 250 killed colleaques since last congress in 1992- as the tip of the iceberg, that there are alarming conditions for the freedom of speech, the press freedom, the right to organize and to form independent organisations to represent your working and social interests. Next to this region of Cantabria we have the Basque country An area where the population has a common identity, their own language and a society that dates back centuries. The experiences from the debates and conflicts between the Basques and the government of Madrid, the questions of securing the culture and the identity of minority groups, the questions of offering independent fora for self- determination and autonomous status very much falls into line with current conflicts of exJugoslavia, Tyrkey, Palestine and the Chechnian war in Russia- to name a few. And it falls into line with the debate and the policy which we as media- workers are going to make on Racism, Xenophobia and Nationalism. Since 1975 this country- and especially the northern Spain has undergone profound changes. Reestablishing democracy, financial strength and opening doors to the European Union has had its visual expression in making the landscape from Catalon to Gallicia look like one huge building site. The speed of this development has been of such kind, that many Spaniards literally have jumped from the everyday of the 50ies into the modern electronic world of the 90ies. Just one examble: the cheque hardly came into function as means of payment. But can the mind of the indivial follow this drastic change and evolution? Does it benefit all members of the society in terms of democracy and quality of life? Or is it so, that the introduction and utilization of modern technology and that the whole creation of new infrastructure within societies has been launched with the serve special groups and interests in the society? purpose to В ХІОИЗЧЧА These are some of a number of questions which the IFJ put forward to debate among participants of this Congress when we deal with the" Information Society- The access and the pluralism". We do it, because statistics, a number of events and critical reflections from experienced celebrities make us wonder whether the whole notion of democracy and social balance will be put at stake. During the G7 ministerial conference in Brussels in February on the information society some figures were mentioned, which necessarily force us to consider what one part of the world- or strong financial business sectors to be more concrete- is about to install at the expense of other parts of the world and a vast part of the global population: of bar One of them is: Half of the people in this world have never made a phonecall. They have never used a phone... signimislo to buong so nao nisq2 wolf Another: there are more telephone lines under the city of Manhattan than in Africa from south of Sahara to the Cape of Good Hope thus including the republic of South Africa. When we talked about concentration within the media, the threat to democracy from the multi- nationals, the lack of tranparency and the lack of control of the financial capacity and influence from these bodies, some found the IFJ- scenarios presented at our 1990 Congress in Sardinia a bit exaggerated. awo With the experience from last year in Italy it is clear, that the IFJ report and warning- signal from 1990 became reality, when the media- electioning campaign that made Berlusconi Prime Minister took place. And this event more than anything else made it known outside the media branch that we had spotted the Achille's heel, the vulnerable point to modern democratic society. doidw voiloq edi diw smil of And at the UN World Summit for Social Development in Copenhagen in March President of France, Francois Mitterand, came very close to the basic problems of the financial market systems, when he stated, that there is something fundamentally wrong, when some people by the use of modern equipment can absorb overnight, what it took very many people to create over years. предот lool sioilleD bail douz to In Copenhagen the media and its professionals were present. So were a number of leaders of countries and governments that behave very nicely when questioned on international television, but certainly change attitudes when they are carrying out political business at a distance from the limelight. 10 til to viilaup by to Last week the ruling party of Iran came up with a tremendous blow to the whole ed 2 notion of the free flow of information, to pluralism, the exchange of views and that of tolerence. The reception of sattelite TV from abroad was forbidden and everyone owing a sattelite dish was instructed to remove it. Breaches to these rules will result in heavy fines at app. 3000 dollars. This very significant and tangible clamp- down on the citizens right to know is just one of large number carried out elsewhere in the world- often in a much more sophisticated and indirect manner. Within this congress period we have witnessed the regimentation of media and its professionals in ex- Jugoslavia- especially in on Serbia, the media of Hongkong seems to weaken their normal professional standard as the handover to China comes closer, and the media in Indonesia and Singapore to a large extent express the voice of the ruling power. belistab tuo In fact we are witnessing, that not only is the gap between the ones that have and the ones that have- not expanding due to the state of the world ecenomomy. The gap between the informed and the non- informed is expanding as well, because autocratic governments hide their bad governance in the corners of the silenced society. However, when we the day after tomorrow celebrate the international Press Freedom Day, we at the same time pay homage to our colleaques that have sacrified their lives for the right to disseminate information and to protect the often too fragile pillars of democracy. And immediately the terrible bloodbath deriving from intolerance and poverty in the almost war- zones of Rwanda/ Burundi and Algieria brings forward a hidden, united call: stop this hatred, this callous, disgusting behaviour and try to understand in the name of whatever God, that only by safegaurding the views of your opponent, by listening to other voices and by negotiating towards solutions you can secure the respect for your own voice and point of views in the long run. This the 22nd Congress of the IFJ demonstrates the world- wide support and recognition for the principles laid down in section 2 of the IFJ constitution. Within the last eight years the numbers of affilliates and members have more than doubled and the IFJ can now truly claim to be THE world organisation for journalists and thus recognized by the international governmental bodies and organisations of the world. The expansion from being mainly a western Europe/ American federation of professionals to a truly international for journalists has taken place in a period of huge geopolitical changes, of profound changes in world economy and during the emergence of new financially strong powers and states in the world. However financilly strength not always correspond to press freedom and the right to organize at an independant basis. 3 This congress period has showed the risk, that the IFJ could be swallowed by its own successfull expansion out of financial reasons. The papers presented to you under the headline" Challenge of Change" tells the story which you know from your private budget, that too many needs and too little ressources/ money do not go very well along. For this reason the Executive Committee has very carefully examined the work of the IFJ and decided upon a list of priorities. The consequence of this is, that the IFJ concentrate its work in some fields and downgrade or stop its work in others. Another consequence is, that we have to speed up the process of decentralization, of the formation of continental groups and regional work. We do this from the recognition of such facts, that it is next to impossible to carry out detailed professional trade union work from one spot of the world both out of financial and intellectual reasons. And we do it to support the local and regional call for influence and responsability. This is a process that has already given birth to the continental sub- federations of IFJ in Europe, Latin- America and Asia. In the coming congress period this regional work will develop and hopefully new groups shall emerge in areas where affilliates can gain strength and advantanges from uniting ressources. However, this will also pose a challenge to the existing struc- ture of the IFJ, the way we from the existing wording of the constitution have decided to run the democracy of the Federation. Since the Montreal Congress we have carried out the IFJ- democracy according to the new constitution adopted in Baia Chia in 1990. It is very important that we stick to this during the next three years to secure the needs of continuity. But from the congress papers you see, that the Executive Committee proposes a Constitutional Commission to be established to deal with in particular the consequences of an IFJ under change. I shall not at this moment anticipate the work and recommandations of this commission in detail. However it seems obvious to me, that the creation and composition of a future board or Executive Committee of this federation shall be based on the decentralized framework of the regional IFJ's. To safequard the regional work and responsability and to secure a common world- wide IFJ- strategy. Have journalists gone international so has our employers and the industry as a whole. The large media conglomerates respect no flag, nor borders. And together with the technological convergence we see the exploitation of these new systems with the purpose of making money and getting power. 4 APPENDIX 3 We witness the increasing influence of media moguls from unrestrained lobbying in national and international governing bodies. We are faced with their pressure to take creative control and attempts to transfer property ownership from cultural workers to employers. As we see how they support the undermining of the public service broadcast sector to favour their own commercial infotainment- money- machine. Not to mention the attacks on salary and working conditions, the pressure from making thousands of media- workers redundant and introducing a labour force on short- time contracts or free- lance conditions. It all boils down to the needs of a new strategy to ensure media- workers against further exploitation and the deterioration of their professional and material standards. 2 alls to our brothe It obvious to me that we have to prepare a code of standard to safeguard cultural workers the right to independence and the tools of control to protect the creative work. It is a commonplace to add that the industry will benefit from this as well, contrary to the streamlining and standardizing of the media- products we are faced with these years. Editorial democracy is one part of this strategy. However, I think that national and international frame- legislation is needed as well. IFJ since its creation has had the overall policy of representing the interests of professional trade union journalists. With the elimination of demarcations in the industry, with the introduction of new flexible working patterns as a result of new technology we have to realize that closer co- operation with other groups can prove necessary to match the multi- national employers. In the printed as well as in the broadcast industry. But in a much wider perspective the strategy for journalists is to create an alliance with the individual consumer of information. Because new technology will change the existing media into a variety of info- shops. Our professional status can only be secured when there is an overall comprehension within the society for the professional skills that are needed to bring forward selected, checked and balanced information in the interest of the society. This is why training and professional standards- codes of ethics- play an important part of the future work for journalists organisations. To work at a global basis is difficult for the IFJ and for the individual affilliate. Lack of ressources is one thing. The capacity to communicate and really understand each other across borders of language, culture and traditions can be as problematic. However I am quite confident, that this federation with the built- in tradition for professional anarchy can match whatever challenge towards year 2000. My confidence is among other things based on talks with the new generations within this profession. Not only do they handle computers and other modern technology as 5 if they were professional programmers. Their knowledge of other languages and interests in international affairs benefits our course. I very much hope that the participants of this congress as a very important side profit will take advantage of this unique assembly of media- knowledge and that colleaques will mix and have time for informal exchange of views outside the congress- hall as well. Let me express the Federations gratitude to our Spanish organisers, the FAPE- especially to member of the executivecommittee Juan Antonio Prieto- and all staff involved in the arrangement for the huge work of preparation. From previous experiences with spanish hospitality I can ensure you all that a week in Santander is equal to some diet afterwards. ed At this congress we especially miss two persons. The first one is Rob Bakker from Holland, honorary treasurer of the IFJ and the driving force in establishing the safety and human rights work within the IFJ during a decade. Added to this his concept for securing the financial future, the viability and the independence of the IFJ was adopted by last congress. Rob suddenly died a year ago, at the age of 42. The other one is Jose Luiz Muniain, former general secretary of FAPE, who died two years ago. Jose Muniain was a leading figure in transforming the FAPE into aq modern professional trade union for journalists with the clear aim of having FAPE affilliated to the IFJ. For which reason we are able to hold our congress in Spain. Whilst we keep the memory of these two truely internationalists in our mind I think the best way we can pay honour to their work is to complete this congress with a clear vision and programme for the coming three years of IFJ contribution. On behalf of the IFJ- affilliates and the Executive Committee I want to express the appreciation for the extensive work carried out by the IFJ- staff in Brussels as well a as in our regional offices. And to Aidan White and Bettina Peters: thanks for keeping up the spirit and so many balloons in the air with so few hands. Let us join hands with the common purpose to defend the important role of independent journalism in the society, to protect and secure the individuals, that exercise their profession- and to promote the universal comprehension for the right, to know in the name of democracy and social justice. Have you ben whole. The The 6 APPENDIX 3 IFJ WORLD PRESS FREEDOM DAY 1995: IFJ Calls for Media Solidarity Against Violence, Intolerance and Poverty The International Federation of Journalists, meeting in Santander at its world Congress, salutes all journalists around the world who are striving for professional freedom against the enemies of truth. We pay homage to our brothers and sisters who have sacrificed their lives for press freedom and democracy in the past year. We insist on World Press Freedom Day 1995 that press freedom and the freedom to report are fundamental rights which must be embodied in national and international law. We demand from all nations conditions which will allow journalists to work in peace and security and action against those who are guilty of violence and intimidation against journalists. We call on all media organisations to reaffirm their commitment to professionalism and ethical journalism above all commercial considerations. The IFJ notes that the United Nations has proclaimed 1995 the Year for Tolerance and we pledge ourselves to promote greater mutual understandingpeace and democracy through ethical and professional journalism. The IFJ reaffirms that the unity and solidarity of journalists the world over provides us with the greatest weapon against injustice, corruption and poverty. With such unity we shall make every day of the year a day for press freedom and journalistic independence.
