In this episode, we’re doing a pulse check: How are European democracies doing? And what about the state of freedom of expression? Join us for a conversation with Quinn McKew from the globally active NGO Article 19 that fights for press freedom. Quinn tells us about the tools used by the NGO to measure freedom of expression. She also shares about tendencies in press freedom and freedom of expression they observe in Europe and beyond and the consequences for democracy and solidarity. This is a podcast of SALTO European Solidarity Corps Resource Centre, produced by Instituto NOW (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠institutonow.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠).
