Programme overview 2015

Session teaser

The session will explore the new media developments with a particular focus on public service media value and the new types of journalism in the digital age.

Session description

The challenges for the media will be analysed from the perspective of human rights with a particular emphasis on freedom of expression. Does technological innovation promote such values or just provide multiple distribution channels and platforms? Are public broadcasting values and distinctive content still needed or demanded by broader audiences (or just by a 50plus generation)? Media are inherently related to the system of basic rights in modern society and particularly to freedom of expression. Nowadays freedom of the media comprises not only the freedom of traditional media but also Internet freedom and the freedom of new services and platforms. Are public service media a phase-out model or can underline its continued relevance for open and democratic societies?

Keywords

Media and Internet freedom, New forms of journalism, Public service media, Creativity and creative industries, Innovation, Big data and media, Hybrid TV, Public service media and Public service value in the digital age, Public involvement, blogs, participation and protests.

Format

After short introductions by some keynotes, there will be an interactive discussion with the audience, including some more discussants from stakeholder groups and from the audience. Please note, at EuroDIG everybody has a speaking right and nobody should feel excluded by not being listed as a speaker. It is actually the intention of and best practice at EuroDIG to provide greater attention to the audience and not to focus on the speakers on stage only.
