Prague Media Point 2023 Conference 

About: 

Prague Media Point fosters the work of media specialists for the public good. Aiming for interdisciplinarity, we gather scholars, journalists, media executives, and other experts to exchange experiences, establish new relationships, and debate the challenges facing both traditional and new media. These issues are presented in an international context, with a greater focus on CEE and Western Balkans, with both their specific and shared challenges, so that a trans-border dialogue continues. We seek to showcase examples of innovations, methods, and approaches that enable both private and public service media to fulfil their mission in the public space. 

In 2023, Prague Media Point focuses on investigative journalism, on cross-border and cross-sectoral collaborations between journalists and media, and on the wider frame of media regulations that are being developed in Europe. These three areas are vital for our general strive for a more resilient and sustainable media system, and in turn, democracy.

• Anna Gielewska, Fundacja Reporterow, Deputy Director, Poland 
  
• Jovana Bojanovic, KRIK, Deputy Editor-in-Chief, Serbia
