About the European Federation of Journalists (EFJ)

The European Federation of Journalists (EFJ) is a regional organisation of the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ). It is created within the framework of the IFJ Constitution to represent the interests of journalists' unions and their members. The EFJ is Europe’s largest organisation of journalists, representing about 260.000 journalists in over thirty countries.

The EFJ fights for social and professional rights of journalists working in all sectors of the media.
The EFJ is recognized by the European Union, the Council of Europe and the European Trade Union Confederation as the representative voice of journalists in Europe.
