(ANSA) - UDINE, FEB 1 - OBCT, Osservatorio Balcani Caucaso Transeuropa, and the Wikipedia movement have reached a new collaboration agreement. OBCT has been committed for four years to updating entries dealing with freedom of the press and 'threatened' journalism on the world's biggest free online encyclopedia. The initiative, called Wiki4MediaFreedom, was carried out within the framework of the European Centre for Press and Media Freedom (ECPMF) project. In order to keep drawing attention on the issue and involve other entities in this process, the OBCT has signed a cooperation agreement with Wikimedia Italia, the Italian branch of the Wikimedia Foundation, organization managing the wiki project servers and supporting the global movement strategy. Over the last few years, OBCT has created and improved on Wikipedia hundreds of articles on the subject of press freedom in Europe, offering an overview of the media systems of dozens of countries in south-eastern Europe, the countries of Visegrad, Russia and Turkey, describing the transformations under way, the level of pluralism, the conditions of journalists, the most critical aspects of the sector. The focus was on four crucial issues: access to information, transparency and concentration of media ownership, censorship and self-censorship. Among the offline events, four edit-a-thons were organized in Belgrade, Sofia, Madrid and Berlin, involving dozens of expert journalists, activists and wikipedians. In the edit-a-thon held in Madrid on January 18, the entry on the biography of Anastasia Babúrova, journalist at Novaja Gazeta - who was murdered in Moscow ten years earlier by a killer along with activist Stanislav Markelov - was created in Spanish language. On January 26 in Berlin, in order to commemorate Italian journalists Rai Dario D'Angelo, Alessandro Ota, Marco Luchetta, killed in Mostar on January 28, 1994 during the war in Bosnia, the participants created the entries on D'Angelo and Ota in Italian language. Two online translation contests were launched, which resulted in the creation of dozens of new entries in Serbian, Croatian, Italian and English language. For example, during the first edition of the contest, entries were created in Croatian language on journalists Daphne Caruana Galicia and Jan Kuciak, who were killed in 2017 and 2018 respectively.(ANSA).
