Independence<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Economia media house aims to be a synonym of free, professional journalism, and that is why on the initiative of its owner and Board of Directors it set up the Committee for Editorial Independence (CEI). The CEI seeks to improve not only the Czech media environment, but also to advance the journalistic culture of Central and Eastern Europe, and possibly of other countries.<\/p>\n<p>The CEI role\u2019s as a completely independent body is to promote the idea of free media and to guarantee to readers and the general public that Economia\u2019s journalists and editors may carry out their work free from inappropriate interference. Any journalist or editor of Economia who believes to have been subjected to direct or indirect interference from Economia\u2019s owner may contact the CEI. Also, any other person outside Economia who can substantiate that the work of any of Economia\u2019s journalists or editors has been affected by such interference may contact the CEI. The CEI does not deal with submissions which are evidently baseless or vexatious.<\/p>\n<p>The CEI consists of respected journalists from across Europe who know and understand the Czech media environment.\u00a0The CEI is completely independent and reports neither to other Economia\u2019s bodies nor to its shareholder. Therefore, its statements need not reflect the official opinion of the Economia media house.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"button_wrap button_align_left\"><a class=\"transparent_button\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/economia.cz\">More about Economia<\/a><\/div>                <\/div>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-2673-0-0-3\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_economia-single-employee\" data-index=\"3\" ><div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-2673-0-0-3\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-economia-single-employee so-widget-economia-single-employee-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t><div class=\"hell_container\">\r\n        <div class=\"row employee_single_row\">\r\n                <div class=\"single_employee_section col-lg-12 col-md-12 col-sm-12\">\r\n                        <div class='single_employee_title'><h2>Chairperson of the Committee<\/h2><\/div>                                                <div class=\"single_employee_photo_wrap\">\r\n                                <div class=\"single_employee_photo\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/nezavisla.economia.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/TessaSzyszkowitz_foto_white_small.jpg')\"><\/div>\r\n                        <\/div>\r\n                                                <p class=\"single_employee_paragraph\">\r\n                                <span class=\"single_employee_name_position\">Tessa Szyszkowitz<\/span>\r\n                        <\/p>\r\n                        <div class=\"single_employee_text\"><p>Tessa is a historian, journalist, and author.
