EBC

PMA welcomes the creation of Ouvidoria Cidadã as a positive step towards more accountable and independent public media in Brazil.  

In recent years, public media in Brazil has experienced a slow and tragic death and now faces complete dismantling.

In September 2016 Brazil's new government began to threaten EBC with a series of changes. One year later, journalists are still denouncing the dismantling of public broadcasting in the country.

EBC employees join a general strike to protest against the company’s tight control and to defend freedom of expression.

Concern as provisional measure, approved by the Senate last week, increases state control over the country's public broadcaster.

A proposed restructuring of Brazil's public broadcaster was approved last week in a bid to make the organisation more efficient whilst also undermining its autonomy.

After the recent changes and government interference, former members of the Brazilian public broadcaster met with Parliament to debate its current situation.

The government’s decision to wipe out the EBC Board of Trustees further derails the public broadcaster's freedom and independence.

The newly confirmed Brazilian government has recently proposed a measure that would change the structure and the autonomy of the public broadcaster.
