It was developed by a group of 130 experts, institutions, regulatory authorities, publishers and new technology players. It is the most relevant and comprehensive attempt at a healthier information space so far. Over 2,600 media houses from 135 countries around the world are involved in the JTI process.

Committee for Editorial Independence

The Economia media house aims to be a synonym of free, professional journalism, and that is why on the initiative of its owner and Board of Directors it set up the Committee for Editorial Independence (CEI).

The CEI role’s as a completely independent body is to promote the idea of free media and to guarantee to readers and the general public that Economia’s journalists and editors may carry out their work free from inappropriate interference. Any journalist or editor of Economia who believes to have been subjected to direct or indirect interference from Economia’s owner may contact the CEI. The CEI also seeks to advance the journalistic culture of Central and Eastern Europe, and possibly of other countries.
