Abstract
Critical analysis of Article 4 of the EU proposal of a Media Freedom Act (Regulation): the blog argues that the formulation of Article 4 which aims at strenghtening and harmonising in the EU the protection of journalistic sources risks rather to be a step backwards in the protection of journalistic sources. The actual provision does not guarantee the level of protection that all EU member states should already respect with regard the protection of journalists’ sources in application of Article 10 ECHR as developed in the well-established case law of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) on this topic. The blog also suggests some amenments/improvements in order to make Article 4 reach its aims.
