We believe that the roundtable that was held in Lagos on November 2, 2010, has managed to combine our general commitment towards media freedom with our engagement for social democracy – a democracy that does not merely rely on the formal establishment of democratic institutions, but that seeks to make the dividends of democracy available to every citizen. This includes the freedom from fear and want through decent work – be it for a factory worker, a farmer on the field, or for a journalist. Thomas Mättig Resident Representative, FES Nigeria Lagos, December 2010
