Czech Media Strike Over Funding
Czech public broadcasters held a historic strike following the government's vote to abolish license fees, per EUobserver.

International journalism groups have backed the strike, with expats.cz noting growing global support for Czech press freedom.
The dispute centers on funding overhaul plans that would eliminate traditional broadcaster licensing, sparking fears of media independence.
