European Audiovisual Observatory appoints new chairman

The European Audiovisual Observatory has appointed UNI MEI head Johannes Studinger as its new chairman.

UNI MEI is the media and entertainment division of the UNI Global Union – an international federation that represents labour unions and guilds to promote justice and equality in the global economy.

Studinger was elected at a Council of Europe meeting, held in Strasbourg. His chairmanship will take the European Audiovisual Observatory into a new three-year action plan, which is currently under discussion with the Observatory’s governing bodies.
