The union is backing a European project on the effects of media owners' pressures on how issues are covered.
The EFJ/IFJ in Brussels wants to know of examples of no-go areas or self-censorship where journalists have avoided covering stories because they know they clash with their bosses' interests.
The study hopes to gauge the effects of media concentration on unions and professional standards and how companies control content and affect the level of professionalism.
It also wants to hear of positive examples of what can and has been done by journalists to defend themselves and their standards.
If you have experience or examples of the ways big media undermine standards and independence contact Granville Williams at g.williams@hud.ac.uk or call him on 01977 646580.
