>Founded in 2005 the â¬SForum Media and Development⬝ (FoMe) serves as
>an independent platform for German political foundations,
>non-governmental and parastatal organisations active in media
>development. Each year, FoME organizes an international symposium
>focusing on a specific issue. In 2010, with the German Federal Ministry
>for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) under new leadership, it
>seems to be the right moment to take a new look at German media
>development cooperation. At the same time media assistance has been
>gaining momentum on the international stage - be it with regard to
>post-conflict societies, the media's role in climate change or in the
>context of the digital revolution.
>
>In order to study international practices of media development
>cooperation and its challenges we have invited international experts in
>this field to report on the successes, difficulties and lessons learned
>in media development cooperation. Case studies from a number of
>countries and an insidersâ¬" look into donor programmes form the basis
>for a critical reflection on the role of media assistance in the context
>of democracy promotion. Our main interest is to have an open debate
>about the very practical challenges of our work.
>
>The symposium will be complemented by a documentation on German media
>assistance (based on a survey sent out in September 2010) and a
>literature guide on international media assistance.
