The European Audiovisual Observatory has been reporting on legal audiovisual insights in Europe for 30 years now!
Over the years, we've built up an exceptional wealth of knowledge, including an online database with over 10,000 articles available for you to consult.
Our resources cover all the major legal hot topics impacting the media landscape in over 41 countries, from broadcasting, online services and influencers to freedom of expression, protection of minors or journalist safety, but also many other topics such as territoriality, independent production, public funding, copyright and AI. In an attempt to be as comprehensive as possible and following the Observatory’s standard operation, our approach is to cover both national developments and EU level advances, including those related to legal frameworks such as the AVMSD, DSA, EMFA and AI Act.
As part of the Council of Europe in Strasbourg, we also closely follow and report on European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) case law related to freedom of expression.
So it's time to celebrate these achievements together with those who helped create this valuable store of knowledge!
Join us online to (re-)discover our three flagship reporting tools which you can access for free:
- IRIS Newsletter - 30 years of free monthly reporting on legal developments in the media sector.
- IRIS MERLIN Database – a searchable tool containing short articles offering legal insights into all key audiovisual areas around the globe since 1995.
- VERBO Database - ten years of reporting on European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) case law related to freedom of expression, all in one searchable database.
You'll get a chance to hear from the creators of these tools and the contributors to our legal reporting work, who will share their expertise, insights and their connection to our Newsletter and databases.
So do join us online for a celebration of 30 years of IRIS MERLIN legal reporting!
