As part of the "Journalists Matter" campaign, Luxembourg has made freedom of expression and the safety of journalists a priority for its Chairmanship of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe (November 13, 2024 – May 14, 2025).

In addition, the annual state subsidy granted to the Press Council has been increased by around 13% to support the professionalization of this body, which represents Luxembourg's media landscape, and enable it to develop the services it offers its members. Furthermore, the bill on the promotion of professional journalism and democratic debate, introducing a right of access to information for journalists (https://www.chd.lu/fr/dossier/8421), was tabled with the aim of facilitating the work of the media.

The bill aims to clarify access to public information by recognizing the specific role of professional journalists and emphasizing their need for access to information to fulfil their public interest mission. Finally, a series of conferences on media and journalism was organized by the Media, Connectivity and Digital Policy Service (SMC) in collaboration with the University of Luxembourg.

Topics such as "Anonymity, Incitement to Violence and Hate on the Internet: How Far Does Freedom of Expression Go?", "Influencers and Content Creators: Do They Have All the Rights?", and "Disinformation: A Threat to Democracy?" highlighted the importance of journalism and the values ​​that guide it and were part of an effort to strengthen public trust in journalistic media. These three initiatives are part of the government's ongoing efforts to strengthen media and journalism in Luxembourg. The "Journalists Matter" campaign underscores the importance of these activities.
