Abstract

This paper examines the impact of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) on journalistic practices and freedom of expression. Implemented in 2018, the GDPR aims to enhance personal data protection while recognizing the need to balance these protections with freedom of expression. The study focuses on key GDPR provisions relevant to journalism, particularly Article 85, which requires Member States to reconcile data protection rights with freedom of expression. It explores the varying implementations of these provisions across EU Member States and discusses the challenges posed by the GDPR to journalistic practices, including issues related to the right to erasure and data protection in investigative reporting. The paper also considers the GDPR's global influence on data protection standards. While the GDPR has set new benchmarks for data protection, its interaction with journalistic activities remains complex and evolving. The research concludes by identifying areas for further investigation, including comparative analyses of national implementations and the long-term impact of GDPR on press freedom.
