  • (1888PressRelease) September 22, 2011 - The plenary session "Interaction opportunities of conventional and social media" will provide a forum for the participants to discuss effective ways to reach the audience through social media and to concentrate on the role of mass media in the modern information space.

    Panel discussion "Social Networks as a Mass Media" will be dedicated to the journalists' immediate experience in interacting with social networks and provide answers to the following questions: what services should be given priority, and whether or not to aggregate and moderate user-generated content.

    The discussion in the workshop "Journalism 2.0 and New Approaches to Mass Media Functioning" will be focused on the present and the future of mass media. Among other issues, the participants will look into communication with the users, citizen journalism, blogosphere and journalistic conduct in social networks.

    Creation of multimedia content has become an important task of mass media in the changed information space. The "Media Convergence" workshop will give the participants a chance to discuss new modes of presenting information, the role of multi-format publications, mobile journalism and the modern media resources of a journalist.

    "This conference is aimed to identify similarities and differences between social and conventional media. The participants will not only analyze what these two platforms have in common but also look into their interaction opportunities. The conference plenary session, panel discussions and sections will provide a forum for productive experience exchange. Since it is an international event, the participants will also benefit from "backstage" communication - this conference is a great opportunity to exchange knowledge and establish contact with colleagues from abroad" - Dmitriy Chistov, Head of Information Projects.
