3rd Asia-Pacific and Europe Media Dialogue
The 3rd Asia-Pacific and Europe Media Dialogue will be held at the Royal Tropical Institute in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, on 9th and 10th of November 2009.
To build on the successes of the 1st and 2nd Asia-Pacific and Europe Media Dialogue, the 3rd Dialogue, co-organised by Radio Netherlands Worldwide and the AIBD will engage more broadcasters and other stakeholders of the electronic media industry in promoting better understanding of media issues and enhancing interaction.
The conference theme is: "A new agenda for media".
A wide variety of relevant issues will be discussed during the Media Dialogue - How to balance media freedom and media responsibility and accountability? Has media done enough to pursue responsible practices in various levels of its operation? In reporting conflicts, how media can reduce conflicts? Can media help in reconciliation? Can media play a role in preventing disasters? Can media help to slow down climate change? Is it enough to report the findings of scientists and international experts? How can media withstand the economic downturn? Can content sharing and co-production help the bottom line? How can mainstream media exploit the new level of citizens´ participation in media that is facilitated by the new media?
As citizens everywhere are becoming active and important participants in the creation and dissemination of news and information, how is this transforming newsrooms and redefining journalism?
