"Journalists’ organisations play a key role to defend the rights of journalists and equip them to rise to the challenge of the changing labour market. Journalists’ organisations themselves also undergo changes to renew their commitment and strategies to counter new challenges. This handbook [...] contains inspiring examples from EFJ members, including: recruitment and organising strategies to reach out to young and other types of journalists; development of new services and training opportunities catering for the need of different members; continue to defend the labour rights of journalists through collective bargaining and innovative campaigns; advocate the protection of the professional and social rights of all journalists, in particularly those of freelance and precarious workers, through national and European legislation; lobby for strong authors’ rights protection for journalists and fair contacts."
