Forums for journalists and media professionals

This series of forums for journalists and media professionals deal with the special role of the media in public awareness, and the difficulties and responsibilities . The forums  will focus on the question of how stimulate debate, while also encouraging reflection and interaction rather than adding to locked polarized positions, or inflaming cycles of conflict.  

Journalists face and participate in serious systemic problems of disinformation, misinformation and information spin, and journalists have been used as weapons of war. Journalists may also risk their lives or careers through their reporting on  human rights issues and conflict dynamics. These forums will support journalists to raise and transform very personal concerns and to discuss the role of journalism in raising collective awareness, through stimulating and entering debate and dialogue about pressing issues in Europe and world-wide.
