[FoME] Now with working link: FoME-Symposium "Media and Media Assistance in Fragile Contexts", 3-4 November 2016

[Christoph Dietz]

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

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.
