WHAT'S WORKING

Volumes have been written and numerous events have been held over the 
past decade lamenting the plight of the media in the modern world. Much 
less attention has been paid to what's actually working. That is why the 
2019 edition of the Prague Media Point will highlight inspiring examples 
that have managed to overcome the challenges the media are facing these 
days.

We encourage submissions of abstracts that focus on examples in the 
media that appear to be working and generating impact in the following 
subjects and topics, though this list is not exhaustive:

* Technology in editorial work and content delivery
* Engagement through social media
* Examples of solutions or constructive journalism
* Trust-building techniques
* Different forms of storytelling
* Youth-driven news delivery
* Innovative business and ownership models
* Diversity in the newsroom
* Data journalism
* Minority media

Please submit your 500-word abstracts and a short bio by the extended 
deadline of May 31, 2019 to (pmp /at/ keynote.cz)
