“Cooperation between journalists and politicians: risks and benefits”, a discussion at the conversation festival Lampa

Journalists and politicians usually live on opposite sides of the fence, but the boundaries between desirable and unacceptable practice are defined based on the culture of the newsroom, individual values and many other factors. Representatives from each of the largest parties contesting the parliamentary elections in Latvia were invited to define benefits and no-go’s of politician-media cooperation together with leading journalists from Latvia who were also on the panel.
