About the mechanism

Tech and Journalism Crisis and Emergency Mechanism (T&JM) acts as a forum where all stakeholders, journalism organisations, civil society organisations, companies and states can discuss, develop recommendations and adopt crisis and emergency protocols for journalism orgnanisations, and share best practices in transparency reporting and account moderation of journalism and media organisations in the digital space.

It uses a voluntary-compliance approach where all stakeholders sign up to a model that does not create legal obligations and where they voluntarily implement the T&JM’s recommendations.

The T&JM is a multi-stakeholder process where representatives of the different interested groups come together to improve the practices of the sector. The mechanism should involve and should be led by local and regional actors.
