Dear readers, first of all a very happy and good new year to all of you! The past year has seen this blog grow to over 70,000 pageviews in 2009 and I hope to continue the work in 2010. As a kick off, we start with the protection of journalistic sources. This Wednesday 6 January the Grand Chamber of the Court will hold a hearing in what may become a key case on the issue: Sanoma v. the Netherlands. In the earlier chamber judgment, a heavily divided Court did not find a violation of Article 10 ECHR.Professor Dirk Voorhoof of Ghent University guest-posted on this earlier last year. Here is another guest post of his, on the recent case of Financial Times Ltd. and others v. the United Kingdom, in which the Court unanimously found a violation of the Convention in a case on the same kind of issue. Is it an indication of where the Grand Chamber may go? Who knows....

Hello
I study Journalism and Communication and I have to find 10 Principles from 7 different cases against Romania regarding the violation of freedom of speech. I have to admit that I do not understand this request and I am already on internet since 2 days looking for the meaning. Article 10 of ECHR has only 2 Par., I do not understand what is meaning about 10 Principles. And I do not know how to find only those cases against Romania which regards the freedom of speech. Have you any idea what can be talking about?
Thank you in advance for any reply.
