Tories Hit with Council of Europe Rebuke Over Charging Journalists to Cover Party Conference
The Council of Europe has issued a damning rebuke of the Conservatives charging journalists at least £137 to attend its conference this autumn.
The party sparked a row over press freedom after introducing fees for each journalist’s application. The Council of Europe – the pan-European body of which the European Court of Human Rights is a part – has now issued a “media freedom warning”, noting that the policy “sets a deeply concerning precedent in a democratic society”. In a statement, the Council of Europe – of which the UK is a member – pointed to the “ruling Conservative Party” sparking anger from “journalists and outlets from across the world”.
The News Media Society, the Society of Editors and the Foreign Press Association are among around 300 reporters and organisations to protest the fees, saying that it is “wrong in principle, a serious media freedom issue and a barrier to open democracy”.
