The ECPMF’s NEWSOCRACY event is devoted to discuss media ownership as a topic affecting many European countries, enabling us to assess if and to what extent conflicts of interest may undermine the independence of the information we consume. The NEWSOCRACY event in Prague focuses on new forms of media owners as well as on implications of media ownership concentration on local/regional journalism. Through hands-on knowledge exchange we aim to come up with constructive approaches to promote media plurality.
Welcome to Prague for the fourth in our NEWSOCRACY series of conferences, tackling the problem of a concentration of media ownership and its effect on press freedom. We have a stunning line-up of top speakers, and many opportunities for networking and sharing experiences with decision-makers from all over Europe. We ask you to consider signing up for our regular ECPMF newsletter if you do not already receive it in your inbox, and for your permission to share contact details of the other participants at NEWSOCRACY so that we can all keep in touch with each other.
Day moderator/host: Nora Wehofsits (Advocacy Officer, European Centre for Press and Media Freedom, ECPMF)
