This is a reference tool for media accountability and self-regulation systems in SEE, Europe and at international level. The tool is developed under a two-year UNESCO project co-funded by the European Commission and UNESCO, targeting EU candidate and potential candidate countries such as Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Montenegro, Turkey, Serbia and Kosovo (under UNSCR1244).
Here one can find models for setting up and managing press councils, success stories, descriptions of the councils at the national level (statutes, attributions, funding, decision mechanisms, links to their sites, contact persons, etc), collection of codes of ethics and codes of conduct, rulings of press councils (or similar bodies) on infringements of journalistic professional standards, virtual networks of professionals with an interest in the issue (ombudsmen, press councils members, journalists, academics), tools for teaching/implementing professional standards in the media.
