CONFERENCE THEME

"At the Crossroads of Communication, Journalism, Media, Corporate and 
Social Responsibility"

The media industry, in many respects, is at a crossroads as it seeks to 
come to terms with developments in technology that simultaneously allow 
new heights of journalistic excellence, as well as the emergence of more 
worrying trends such as "fake" journalism.

In this digital age, communication ethics - the codes, moral standards 
and values followed by media organizations and in human communication, 
are more significant than ever before. Therefore, we need to explore how 
media can be socially responsible and provide true, accurate, 
comprehensive and objective information, and try to resolve the conflict 
between communication freedom, public interest and social impact.
