 The European Journalism Observatory mission is based on the common belief among media professionals that media accountability institutions are facing problems, among which is lack of interest from journalists and media practitioners.According to Stephan Russ-Mohl, EJO founder, blogs and other online sources start playing an increasing role in media accountability due to lack of media journalism in traditional media.Besides publications on its webpage, EJO members cooperate with other media, such as the Neue Zürcher Zeitung, to make the results of media research available to a wider public.
