Oliver Money-Kyrle is a Brussels-based media freedom expert, analyst and former senior advocacy leader specialising in European journalism policy, press freedom and the structural dynamics of media capture. With over 25 years of experience defending journalists’ rights worldwide, he brings deep institutional insight to BraveNews.eu.
At BraveNews.eu, Oliver analyses media independence and viability, EU media regulation, and their impact on the Brussels press corps. His reporting examines how power is negotiated inside the so-called “Brussels Bubble” — and why it matters for European democracy.
