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.
Prior to joining BraveNews, Oliver served as Head of Europe Advocacy at the International Press Institute (IPI), where he led high-level policy campaigns in Brussels and Strasbourg. His work contributed to key EU initiatives including the
European Media Freedom Act (EMFA), the Anti-SLAPP Directive, and leading leading media freedom missions around Europe.
Previously, he spent more than two decades at the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ), managing press freedom and media development projects across eastern Europe, Turkey and the Middle East.
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.
