BRIEF DESCRIPTIONS OF THE THEMATIC DIALOGUES
Journalism and Media Sustainability
The dialogue brings together academic and professional perspectives with international experience in developing sustainable journalism. It focuses on the key dimensions and current challenges of media sustainability, as well as the models, approaches and conditions that can support the long-term sustainability of journalism and the media. A dedicated part of the discussion will address the sustainability of journalism education and the importance of a systematic approach to the lifelong education of media professionals.
Moderator: Assoc. Prof. Tijana Vukić
Regulation, Innovation and Professional Development in Journalism
Journalism is continuously changing under the combined influence of new regulatory frameworks, technological developments and innovations in media practice. The dialogue brings insights from European institutions, the media industry and academia to explore how these changes affect journalistic work, the operation of media organisations and the development of the profession. The exchange will also help identify new competencies needed by current and future journalists.
Moderator: Andrea Čović Vidović
(Dis)Trust in the Media
The media cannot fulfil their societal role without audiences, and trust is a key element of this relationship. The dialogue brings together different views on what shapes (dis)trust in the media today and how trust can be built and maintained. Particular attention will be given to journalistic ethics, as well as the knowledge, values and professional practices that are important for building relationships with audiences.
Moderator: Prof. Gordana Vilović
How Do We Watch TV Today?
The ways in which audiences consume television and other audio-visual content are changing rapidly. The dialogue focuses on changing audience habits, developments in content and distribution, and how television is adapting to new media environments. These changes will also provide a starting point for considering how future journalists and other media professionals can be prepared for contemporary audio-visual practices.
Moderator: Ksenija Kardum
Journalists’ Safety
Journalists’ safety involves various risks and threats associated with journalistic work, as well as questions of responsibility and the mechanisms for preventing and addressing them. The dialogue focuses on current challenges to journalists’ safety and the professional and institutional responses to them. Professional training plays an important role in preparing journalists to recognise risks, protect themselves and work safely.
Moderator: Jasna Vaniček-Fila
Women in Journalism and the Media
What is the position of women in journalism and the media today, and how do they contribute to the development of the profession? The dialogue focuses on gender equality and representation, as well as opportunities for professional development and the barriers women encounter. Concrete examples of initiatives aimed at strengthening the position of women will be linked to the role of journalism education in creating a more equal and inclusive professional environment.
Moderator: Maja Sever
