From Information to Participation Challenges for the Media 30 June – 2 July 2014 | Bonn, Germany

Profile

The Deutsche Welle Global Media Forum is a congress with international reach. Having grown steadily since its launch in 2008, more than 2,500 people from 130 nations took part in the most recent conference in June 2013. Around 550 media representatives attended and reported. The Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom speaks for many when it says the Deutsche Welle Global Media Forum has secured a “dedicated spot in the calendar of international media con-ferences”. The forum draws people from the fields of media, politics, culture, business, development cooperation, aca-demia and civil society. They discuss and design approaches to meeting the challenges of global development in which the media play a central role.

Deutsche Welle is Germany’s international broadcaster. It portrays the nation as rooted in European culture and as a democratic state based on the rule of law. Its mission is to promote interaction and understanding between the world’s cultures and peoples. It does this by means a full range of television, radio and online services in 30 languages.

The World Wide Web has become a societal foundation for global communications, economics, science and politics. At the same time, Internet abuse and online crime are challenges that need to be confronted by all segments of society. Beyond that, changing forms of communication are forcing members of the media to consistently rethink and revitalize the way they do business, especially in light of the trend towards more social action and increasing participa-tion by individuals in the political decision-making process. What does the democratization of news and societies mean for media reporting, public opinion-making and forms of gov-ernance? And how can citizens, businesses and governments cope with the threats posed in cyberspace?

This year’s conference partners include Amnesty Interna-tional, Deutsche Telekom, Engagement Global, the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom, Grimme-Institut, Kon-rad-Adenauer-Stiftung, NATO, United Nations, the Vodafone Institute for Society and Communication, Voices of Africa and many more.

Registration fees are waived for members of the press. * All fees are given in euros and include 19 percent value added tax.
