[ecrea] Symposium "Media and Media Assistance in Fragile Contexts"

The Forum Media and Development (FoME) cordially invites you to this 
year’s symposium

*"Observer, Agitator, Target Media and Media Assistance in Fragile 
Contexts"*

3 - 4 November 2016, Berlin (Germany)

Registration will be open until 30 September.

The conference will investigate the relationship between media and 
conflict development in the context of violence and fragile statehood. 
One aim is to evaluate existing concepts and to develop new approaches 
for media assistance in crisis-riven and unstable countries. Another aim 
is to foster exchange between academic research and practices of media 
assistance in these countries. Experts from around the globe will gather 
to discuss the following subjects:

- Challenges of fragile statehood for media and media assistance
- Measuring the impact of media and communication on conflict
- Ethical dilemmas for journalists and media development actors in 
conflict societies
- The role of media in reconciliation and transitional justice
- Information verification and Open Source intelligence
- Safety and protection of journalists in conflict zones

Besides presentations and discussions, the symposium will also include a 
Media Development Coaching Session and a Practitioner Roundtable with 
contributions from Afghanistan, Burundi, Cambodia, Cameroon, Colombia, 
South Sudan and Timor Leste.
