The media bear a great responsibility – and this is especially true of

their active role in conflict prevention. They must be aware of this

responsibility – and be able to fulfil it. This is what we want to promote

with the second edition of the Deutsche Welle Global Media Forum.

This year, with the topic “Conflict Prevention in the Multimedia Age”,

we address both established media producers and the new media pro-

tagonists from the various platforms. Issues involving civil society and

the communication of values, governance and human rights, education

and development naturally form an integral part of this theme.

The many enquiries from prestigious institutions that are participating

as partners for the first time show that we are on the right track with

our concept. At over 50 different events, they will engage with the

rapid developments on the international media markets and the future;

role of both traditional and new media – in the context of regional and

global crises.

The success of the first conference last year encouraged not only

Deutsche Welle to make the Global Media Forum in Bonn, with its

international orientation and interdisciplinary approach, an established

fixture: this year, more than 50 partner institutions and sponsors will

take part, and representatives from media enterprises, non-governmental

organizations and state and intergovernmental institutions will meet

up. A large role has been played by the German Foreign Office and the

Foundation for International Dialogue of the Savings Bank Bonn as

co-organizers, and by the government of NRW, the City of Bonn and

Deutsche Post, who have all given their support to the Forum. In the

name of all participants, I wish you interesting discussions, stimulat-

ing impressions and a lively exchange of ideas. I am looking forward to

continuing on from there next year.

Erik Bettermann

Director General of Deutsche Welle

The multimedia world is in constant flux. Here, too, the pace of tech-

nological progress confronts us with ever new challenges. What is

newsworthy is no longer decided only by the media and professional

journalists but increasingly also by viewers or media users, who share

opinions and discuss issues through a host of interactive media net-

works.

We’re now seeing a growing trend towards greater speed as well as more

participants, more interactive networks and more media. These new

opportunities for communication call for an appropriate response from

the traditional mass media. Deutsche Welle – Germany’s international

broadcaster – is therefore planning strategic changes that will help it

remain a credible and authentic voice for audiences around the world. It

wants above all to expand its programs in all spheres, tailor them more

systematically to different needs and also involve its increasingly active

listeners, viewers and users in real dialogue. All this combined of course

with its multilingual approach will make its international programs

even more attractive.

The 2009 Forum will explore the many facets of this ongoing trans-

formation of the global media, focusing particularly on the growing

number of information sources available around the world as well as on

communications technologies and their impact on those living in crisis

and conflict zones. In many parts of the world unhindered access to

information, strong and independent media and professional journalism

are still patchy or non-existent, although they are of key importance for

the development of genuinely pluralistic societies.

As a broadcaster committed to journalism ethics and democratic values,

Deutsche Welle has for decades been working in close cooperation

with the Federal Foreign Office to promote these core ingredients

of pluralism. The Federal Foreign Office supports particularly the

DW-AkADeMIe training programs designed to help young journalists

hone their editorial skills and familiarize them with media ethics and

good practice. We also sponsor direct-impact projects such as the radio

education program “Learning by ear” in Africa.

For all these reasons I take a keen interest in the Global Media Forum

and so, as in previous years, I readily agreed to support this year’s con-

ference. I wish you all interesting encounters, intensive exchanges and

stimulating discussions.

Frank-Walter Steinmeier

Federal Minister for Foreign Affairs

It is a pleasure for me to welcome all of the national and international

guests to the Deutsche Welle Global Media Forum. I am convinced that

we can repeat the huge success of last year’s conference again this year.

Or to be more optimistic: we will do our very best to top last year’s

good results.

Conflict prevention in the Multimedia Age is one of the most impor-

tant challenges in our times. During the next three days, the Deutsche

Welle’s Global Media Forum will bring together international journal-

ists, media users and producers, peace-building and conflict-prevention

specialists, as well as representatives from various media institutions.

They are all here to network and to discuss solutions for the future

of our one world. I wish all of the participants at the Deutsche Welle

Global Media Forum successful debates, a fruitful exchange of opin-

ions, and the chance to attain a new level of knowledge. The conference

offers participants the opportunity to make new contacts and brings

together a large number of experts from all over the world.

The Media Industry in our State has become a strong economic sector.

More than 330,000 people are active in this branch. North Rhine-

Westphalia is Germany’s leader in the Media World. We are proud of

this development and, at the same time, eager to communicate with the

International Media World. For these reasons I am convinced that all

our guests will find a productive atmosphere at all the meetings, work-

shops and other events during the conference.

Please allow me to welcome you to our country. enjoy your stay in our wonderful region and take home with you new contacts, new friends

and hopefully a good impression that will bring you back to us in the

future.

Minister for Federal Affairs, europe and Media

of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia

As the Mayor of Bonn I extend a warm welcome to the participants of

the second Deutsche Welle Global Media Forum. I am delighted that

Deutsche Welle International Broadcasting has organised this annual

event. Its international attendance list and sustainability content and

objectives make Bonn – Germany’s United Nations City – an excellent

choice of venue.

The triangle made up by the World Conference Center Bonn, Deutsche

Welle International Broadcasting and the UN Campus serves to pro-

mote sustainability. Bonn is home to some 19 UN organizations, over

150 NGOs, numerous scientific institutions, multinational businesses,

other authorities and, of course, the media. Bonn stands for interdisci-

plinary cooperation, new perspectives and innovation in telecommuni-

cations.

Deutsche Welle International Broadcasting brings free and independent

journalism to an increasingly global world. Last year, the Global Media

Forum dealt with the role of the media in peacekeeping and conflict

prevention. This year it will focus on conflict and the media in a digital

world – from content supply to how the new media influences con-

flict worldwide. Again, there are many links to Bonn-based actors and

their agendas. These include the United Nations University, the Bonn

International Conversion Center and the telecommunications giants

domiciled in Bonn.

So welcome to Bonn and to a challenging conference. May you spread

this spirit of dialogue and cooperation when you return home. And, if

you happen to have some spare time in the next few days, I would like

to invite you to explore our beautiful city.

Sparkasse kölnBonn supports initiatives and projects that benefit the

Cologne-Bonn region. One such initiative is the “Stiftung Internation-

ale Begegnung der Sparkasse in Bonn” [Foundation for International

Dialogue of the Sparkasse in Bonn], an organization whose activities

demonstrate that the principle of a global approach to our present and

our future is an essential element of sound regional policy.

The Global Media Forum is an excellent example of that principle, as

it promotes international understanding and cooperative development

work in the Federal and UN city of Bonn through its commitment to

international dialogue in the field of science and research.

Today, media have a greater impact on everyday private and professional

life than ever before. One of the greatest challenges we face is that of

processing the flood of information, assessing its truth content and dis-

tinguishing between what is important and what is not. Media produc-

ers and media consumers alike are engaged in a never-ending process of

learning how to deal with both traditional and new media.

The Global Media Forum offers you an opportunity to discuss regional

matters of global significance as well as global issues of regional impor-

tance in events, forums and networks in the Federal City of Bonn.

On behalf of the “Stiftung Internationale Begegnung der Sparkasse in

Bonn” I wish you all interesting discussions, new ideas and new per-

spectives that you can take home and pursue further after the Forum is

over.

New direction of U.S. foreign policy: from confrontation to dialogue

Hosted by Deutsche Welle Washington

Plenary Chamber

According to the White House foreign policy agenda, President Obama and Vice

President Biden will renew America’s security and standing in the world through

a new era of American leadership: “Now is the time for a new era of international

cooperation that strengthens old partnerships and builds new ones to confront the

common challenges of the 21st century.”

As the Vice President said in a foreign policy speech at an international conference

in February in Munich, “the U.S. vision on foreign and security policy will make a

symbolic break with the Bush years by emphasising co-operation, multilateralism,

diplomacy and the need for strong partnerships”.

Meanwhile there are indications that the Obama administration is making efforts

to improve relations and reopen dialogue with Syria, Iran and North korea, and is

perhaps even reaching out to parts of the Taliban.

This panel will target the changes in American foreign policy and its effects on the

media agenda and efforts for conflict prevention.

How can technologies and information be leveraged

to manage crises better?

Hosted by ICT4peace

Wasserwerk

Information and communication technologies (ICTs) in crisis early-warning, re-

sponse and management can save lives through effective and timely action. However,

crisis response and disaster relief operations today continue to be handicapped by

out-dated and ill-defined information practices, processes and technologies. Inter-

operability between agencies and systems, collaboration between humanitarian and

peace-building actors, critical information sharing between governments and NGOs

all need to be strengthened. What technological capabilities and organisational com-

mitments are needed to address the challenges today? How will the United Nations

act as a global thought-leader in this regard? We already have Web and Internet tools,

services and platforms with millions of users – can they be leveraged to transform

crises and for humanitarian aid? Why will crisis information management play a vital

role in peacekeeping and peace-building operations in the future?

Moderator:

Alain Modoux, former Assistant Director General of UNeSCO for Freedom of

Security leaks in cross-border data flows

Hosted by NASSCOM

Pumpenhaus

Day and night, sensitive and confidential data from banks, hospitals and health insur-

ance companies, to name just a few, crosses the borders from the so-called developed

world to be processed in computer centers in the South.

After processing, this data then flows back to the companies from where it emanated.

Like predators along these data highways, data pirates and other digital criminals

convene to attack such data and either steal or change it. How secure are our interna-

tional data corridors? Can really sensitive data fall into the hands of terrorists or just

plain criminals?

The mutual responsibility of the armed forces and civil society

Hosted by Academy of the German Armed Forces for Information and Communica-

tion (AIk)

Room C

The German armed forces – founded in the 1950s – is the first German military

controlled by parliament. One of the underlying concepts of the armed forces is the

organizational idea of “internal guidance”. The self-perception of the soldier here is

that – even while wearing a uniform – he is still a citizen with all rights and duties.

The soldier is a part of society. But what happens if you look at society as being sepa-

rated from the military? What should the relationship between society and the armed

forces look like – especially in times of changing political security and increasing

missions in foreign countries?

Is there a mutual responsibility? Can the armed forces rely on society and society on

its armed forces? Does society support the missions sanctioned by parliament? How

do the media see this mutual responsibility and how do they report on it?

Partnership for Peace:

Cooperation between media and civil society institutions

Hosted by World Catholic Association for Communication (SIGNIS) and Global

Partnership for the Prevention of Armed Conflicts (GPPAC)

Room FG

The developments in multimedia have had an undeniable effect on the world. The

resulting increase in interconnectedness and possibilities of interaction and participa-

tion have changed traditional roles and demarcations in the global community. When

it comes to socio-political realities and developments, changes are clearly noticeable,

equally so for armed conflicts and strategies of conflict prevention and peace building.

At the same time, it has long been recognized that when it comes to dealing with

3 JUne �:30 P.m.

3�


conflicts and violence, it is essential to work with a multi-stakeholder approach. To

put it simply, no one can do it alone. Traditional actors, each with their own influ-

ence on exacerbating or resolving armed conflicts, like armed factions, governments,

civil society, media, inter-governmental organizations etc. all need to be involved and

cooperate to be able to come to a durable and sustainable solution.

However, the changes that multimedia developments have brought for each of these

stakeholders, require a re-estimation of the roles and responsibilities of each of these

actors when it comes to conflict prevention and peace building. And, potentially

more importantly, they require a re-evaluation of how these different actors can

and/or should cooperate.

Constructive innovation journalism

Hosted by Stanford University

Lobby Vice-Anbau

Journalism can enable its audience to solve conflicts and crisis through a constant flow

of stories about new, innovative ways to solve problems and insight into how well

society is organized to make such innovations happen.

This requires breaking the silo mentality of the traditional news beats since innova-

tion is not a question of politics, business or technology, but a combination of these.

This is not about sugarcoating and hiding realities; it’s about enabling people to find

solutions to serious problems. In this workshop we will discuss the role of journalism

in enabling societies to discuss new solutions to their problems, as well as their ability

to find such solutions.

The role of media in peace building processes in Pakistan

Hosted by Deutsche Welle

Room Minister

Pakistani media have been working under several restrictions and hurdles due to less

tolerance from influential quarters. Despite strict media laws and impositions of bans,

they still play a vital and courageous role in critical situations and important issues af-

fecting the nation and influencing regional and world affairs. Pakistan’s contribution

to fighting the war against terrorism is fully supported by the media. The delicate

situation at the borders with India and Afghanistan has always been sensibly portrayed

by the media. At the moment Pakistan is navigating a critical phase of its history and

is tied in difficult situations. Relations with India are at ‘zero tolerance’ level after

the tragic incident of terrorism in Mumbai recently. The border with Afghanistan is

not safe due to ongoing fighting with the Taliban. Normal life in the country is also

negatively affected and is unsafe due to suicide attacks. Pakistan needs immediate

and permanent peace for the stabilization of its shattered economy and upholding its

national repute. The media are more or less playing their due role in peace-building

but their efforts can be accelerated and made more effective through joint efforts and

constant dialogue on specified objectives.

The young generation: is anyone watching, anyone listening?


Plenary Chamber

Parents often complain that their teenage children have lost contact to the traditional

media – they hardly watch TV, do not listen to radio and never touch a newspaper.

Nearly 100% of the 14-19 year olds in Germany are online. From 5% ten years ago to

nearly 100% today – never before in history has a mass medium grown faster than the

Internet.

What are the teenagers really doing online? Are they merely chatting, watching vid-

eos via YouTube and playing online games like World of Warcraft? Or is something

new emerging? A way of using a mass medium which through its interactive features

and its social networking possibilities makes traditional media look stale and boring

by comparison?

Mediators under sustained fire from television images

Example from the Balkans


Wasserwerk

War is conducted by politicians in situation rooms and officers in the field, but a war’s

image is determined by pictures. Television reports from war and crisis regions influ-

ence the decision-making process, especially when these images are available to the

public. Just a few seconds of video material can be enough to determine (or help de-

termine) the decision on war or diplomacy, intervention or prevention. This became

crystal clear during the Yugoslavian conflicts in the 1990s.

Images from the massacre in Srebrenica, from supposed concentration camps in

Omarska and from artillery attacks in the middle of Sarajevo are still remembered

– and they directly influenced the political decisions back then.

How does television influence politics? Do these images obstruct the nonpartisan

point of view? How much pressure was put on the mediators?

The media and human rights - Latin America panel


Room AB

Do new, multimedia technologies offer more opportunities for effective journalistic

work in a context of political repression? Direct and indirect interference to journal-

istic work is part of daily life for Latin American journalists. Small grassroots radio

stations are set on fire, journalists voicing criticism of the government are fired due to

5�


pressure from politicians, human rights activists must fear death threats.

Mexico and Colombia are on top of the list for journalist killings worldwide. Mexico

has even surpassed Iraq. On the other hand, undemocratic forces also use new media

to their advantage, for instance Mexican drug cartels that are waging an information

war with the government. They film executions and send their videos to the media or

post them on YouTube, articulating threats and campaigning for terrorism.

This panel will discuss the role of media (and the various opportunities they repre-

sent, such as the use of new media) in defending human rights, exploring the question

of whether new technologies offer more opportunities for a decentralised, non-cen-

surable media landscape and reflecting on the degree to which new media presents

new channels for undemocratic forces.

Surviving kidnap

Hosted by Dart Centre

Room C

The fear of being kidnapped is a daily reality for journalists working in unstable

political environments. Any attack on the press can wreak havoc on the media’s abil-

ity to report but the terror of abduction places particular psychological challenges on

newsrooms, journalists and their families.

What – if anything – can individuals do to increase their personal resilience during

such an ordeal? How does one manage the demanding transition from captivity back

to freedom? What responsibilities do news organizations have towards the families

and loved ones of a kidnap victim? What should editors do during the crisis, and what

should they have in place in case a member of their staff is abducted?

Addressing these questions, the panel will include journalists and editors who have

experienced abduction together with psychology and safety experts. News teams

from the world’s richer countries can mobilize impressive resources to protect jour-

nalists and their families. The focus here will be on Latin America and Asia and what

smaller, less cash-rich, local news organizations and their reporters can do to weather

the kidnap threat.

The mobile phone as a conflict prevention tool

Hosted by Voices of Africa Media Foundation

Raum Minister

The mobile phone has ceased to be just a telecommunication device to become a

multimedia news-making tool that can be used as a video camera, sound recorder,

Web browser and so on. As the majority of people own one – which makes it less

intimidating – the mobile phone is indisputably the most efficient device for measur-

ing the political and social temperature that, if not controlled in time, can escalate

into conflict.

Conflicts are the culmination of long processes that can be traced back in time, and

mobile reports can help in this tracing process. With the presence of four young

Africans filing mobile reports in and about their local communities, the Voices of

Africa Media Foundation wants to share during this workshop not only its experience

in detecting the seed of conflict in kenya, but also how that experience can serve as

inspiration for other regions and contexts.

Re-inventing journalism? Journalistic training in the social media age

Hosted by DW-AkADeMIe

Wasserwerk

The attacks in Mumbai and the crash of a passenger plane in the Hudson River mark

two further examples of an unstoppable media revolution. More and more profession-

al journalists around the globe are finding themselves having to play catch-up with

eyewitnesses when reporting breaking stories. Armed with mobile camera phones

connected to the Internet, these citizen journalists are often determining the direc-

tion of news coverage. People who up until recently were just “users” or “consumers”

of media are now often presented on-screen as instant correspondents.

The technology behind the speedy development is called social media. This catch

phrase describes Web platforms where users can have an open exchange of opinions,

views and personal experiences. In other words, on social media platforms anyone can

communicate with anyone, anytime about any topic. The speed in which this devel-

opment has progressed is mind-boggling. In 2004, the fastest medium for reactions to

the terrorist attacks in Madrid was pure text messaging. With the attack on Mumbai

four years later, eyewitness accounts including pictures and videos were exchanged

through social networking sites like Twitter, flickr and YouTube. The “Personal

News Agency” was born – to conventional media either a competitor or a new part-

ner, depending on your view.

More speed, more participants, more linkage, more media: new technologies are

leading to continuously changing possibilities in communication. This has had a

significant impact on the working conditions and the professional expectations of

journalists and at the same time demands new means of specialized training. The

journalistic training symposium will focus on these current trends and challenges.

Among the strategies that will be discussed will be how journalists can utilize the

fast-evolving media landscape to their benefit.


61

� – 4 JUne �00� · Bonn, germanY

The following questions will be at the center of the symposium:

» What is expected of journalists today and are these expectations justified?

» Which qualifications and degree of knowledge do journalists need to report pro-

fessionally, objectively and visibly better than the new players in the news market?

» How are journalistic education and/or training adapting to the emerging chal-

lenges brought on by new media and the changing media landscape?

» Social media platforms like Twitter, flickr and blogs can be valuable tools for jour-

nalists. Can they use these modern technologies to improve their reporting and if

so, how?

» The development of the media in developing and transforming countries is often

shaped by unclear dynamics. How is journalistic training taking place in these

complicated media landscapes?

» Can social media platforms help in circumventing censorship? What opportunities

do they offer for free and borderless communication and what does this mean for

journalists?

Rethinking journalism – Preparing for an uncertain future

Today weblogs, wikis, podcasts and online videos are connecting users to knowledge

and resources like never before. This growing variety of platforms and the ever-ex-

panding online networks of data and content offer endless possibilities, but also pose

new challenges. How will these topics play out in terms of journalism? And what

does it mean for the training and continuing education of journalists?

and digital video cameras and archive shelves have been replaced by hard drives; the

advantages of these developments are obvious. On the other hand, the disadvantages

often only become clear in practice. Unlike analog technologies, which are basically

straightforward, the complete flexibility of digital tools can be overwhelming. What

if an audio or video editing program is not intuitively understood? Using real-world

examples, including a community radio project in West Africa and a digital audio

archiving project in Vietnam, the opportunities and challenges of such technologies

will be discussed.

Panel 3:

Does journalism training make sense? And if yes, when and why?

Good journalism works. At least this is the hope of those who want to promote

development and democratization through supporting journalists worldwide. But

journalists act within complex systems and are subject to numerous factors of influ-

ence. Such factors, like the degree of press freedom, the regulatory situation in a

country or economic independence of the media can promote, block and/or hinder

professional journalism. Those who aim for sustainability in media development have

to be aware of and consider the dominant factors of influence which shed light on the

degree to which professionalization projects can be successful. Panel 3a will investi-

gate which influencing factors are beneficial for the sustainability of media projects. It

also asks how these factors can be influenced positively. International experts discuss

the preconditions and guarantees for sustainable training and present starting points

for networked strategies and initiatives.

Social media journalism

exactly who is a journalist when today anyone can report about anything from just

about anywhere? How will quality journalism then be defined? And will it remain

in sufficient demand to survive? What is more threatening to classic journalism

– the pervasion of the once passive, now increasingly active public into the sphere of

journalism or the movement of users from traditional consumer-oriented media to

self-produced content? What happens when members of the traditional media adopt

the methods and platforms of social media? Where would their “unique selling point”

then lie? Panel 4 will explore how journalism works in and with Web 2.0 and discuss

what consequence will arise from these new platforms both for the individual and for

society.

Multimedia revolution and the traditional media


Plenary Chamber

Multimedia revolution has been one of the biggest buzzwords among media people

for more than ten years. But not until the last couple of years have the frown lines on

the faces of many media managers started becoming seriously deeper.

Web 2.0 applications such as YouTube, flickr and Facebook are consuming the media

time budget of young audiences. Bloggers and Internet-only broadcasters compete

for the attention of users, online publications like the Huffington Post deliver free

news to everyone, causing media managers like Bodo Hombach of the internationally

active German multimedia corporation, WAZ Group, to fear that with the omnipres-

ence of free media, the end of quality journalism might be near.

From joysticks to body count: ethical aspects of modern warfare


Pumpenhaus

Human beings have been fighting each other since prehistoric times, and people have

been discussing the rights and wrongs of it for almost as long. The purpose of war

ethics is to help decide what is right or wrong, both for individuals and countries, and

to contribute to debates on public policy, and ultimately to government and indi-

vidual action.

War ethics also leads to the creation of formal codes of war (e.g. the Hague and

Geneva conventions), the drafting and implementation of rules of engagement for

soldiers, and in the punishment of soldiers and others for war crimes. How can the

media make a meaningful contribution to answer the following three key questions?

Is it ever right to go to war? When is it right to wage war? What is the moral way to

conduct a war?

Modern computer technology in connection with the development of unmanned

fighting machines on the ground, in the air and under the sea makes the problem

even more pressing: can the decision over life and death be left to machines who “are

not bright enough to be called stupid”?

Covering conflicts in Liberia

Hosted by Institute of Applied Media Studies IAM of Zurich University of Applied

Sciences ZHAW

Room AB

A decade of thinking around journalism covering conflicts has produced quite a lot

of different theoretical concepts, from ‘de-escalating journalism’ to ‘conflict-sensi-

tive journalism’, ‘peace journalism’ and ‘conflict transformation media’. To bring the

debate about these concepts a step further, a research project in Liberia is especially

dedicated to reviewing the practise of journalism and assessing how different media

(4 newspapers and 10 radio stations) have covered conflicts in Liberia. For compara-

tive reasons it looks at various media with different concepts for covering conflict and

also investigates less contentious themes, like reconstruction of schools and roads.

4 JUne 11:30 P.m.

The first results of this project allow assessing questions like: What are the differences

in actual reporting between ‘peace-oriented’ stations and normal media? Do they

realize their different concepts: How do they provide information on the background

of conflicts, on different viewpoints, on solutions? Do they use stereotypes differ-

ently? What are the differences in covering conflict in comparison with coverage of

other issues? What are the differences between newspapers (elite-oriented) and radio

(larger audience-oriented).

Media, power politics and post-electoral disputes

Hosted by the Program in Comparative Media Law and Policy, University of Oxford

Room C

Room C

As part of a post-war nation and state building process, leaders are often under

substantial pressure, both internal and external, to hold elections. In Africa competi-

tive elections have often been delayed for years, or even decades, allowing the ruling

parties time to consolidate power. This project is often met with a varying range of

success.

However, in recent years an increasing number of competitive multi-party elections

have been held which have in turn posed a greater risk of post-election disputes. This

panel will examine the complex relationship between the media and those in power,

or seeking power in post-war contexts. All forms of media, from newspapers to blogs

to poetry, can have a role in both exacerbating and mediating tensions. Using case

studies from the continent we will analyze the particular nexus between efforts in the

post-war consolidation of power, the media and competitive elections. Possible op-

tions for interventions and regulation will also be considered.

With all the sources of information out there – newspapers, radio, TV, blogs, other

online resources – people who want to find out what’s going on in the world prob-

ably have more choices than ever before. That‘s a good thing for consumers. The

number of television channels around the world is already huge and continues to

grow. Specialized news channels provide live coverage and news from all continents

round the clock. However, does this multitude of channels, the increased competition

and the pressure of deadlines still allow for profound reporting? How can media avoid

impairing stories due to lack of funds and experienced journalists? To what extent can

debates on ethics and credibility help maintain journalistic standards in the changing

media environment?

The impact of new media on political transparency in turbulent times

Hosted by the International Institute for Journalism of InWent – Capacity Building

International

Annex

Access to information is essential to the development and health of democracy. By

helping to understand operations of government the media ensure that citizens make

responsible and informed choices. In addition, independent and critical media serve

as a watchdog by holding government officials and political decision makers account-

able. The media are especially crucial to the conduct of democratic elections.

Free and fair elections are not only about casting votes in proper conditions but also

about having adequate information about parties, policies, candidates and the election

process. The media is now well-recognized as a critical influence in whether societies

resort to violent conflict or not. Increased media professionalism has a powerful amel-

iorating influence on violent conflict. With the growing influence of new media the

monopoly of professional journalists on the publication of news and views has gone

forever. Weblogs, podcasts, web-videos and mobile reporting generate an information

flow and enhance network reporting that has the potential to challenge closed-door

politics.

Political conflicts in Europe and the role of the media

Hosted by konrad Adenauer Foundation

Plenary Chamber

Marking the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Iron Curtain, the konrad Adenauer

Foundation is calling attention to the role of the media during the political change in

central and eastern europe from 1989-1990.

Visitors from Germany, Poland and Romania will be called upon as references and

witnesses. With the expansion of the Internet and mobile technology in the second

half the 1990s, new methods of mass communication and information have been

established. These new media channels have played an important role during politi-

cal upheaval in Serbia in 2000, Georgia in 2003 (the Tulip Revolution) and Ukraine

in 2004 (the Orange Revolution). Guests from these countries will report on these

issues. The goal is to identify the role of new media and the opportunities and risks

during future political conflicts.

From representation to simulation: serious games and new approaches to

crisis media

Hosted by Saarland University

Room AB

How do we respond to the compassion fatigue among news audiences confronted

with the ever-same images of crisis, with reports that follow all-too-established pro-

tocols of crisis coverage, and analyses that do little to encourage the development of

alternative perspectives on conflict prevention?

So-called serious games offer an opportunity to re-engage the question of crisis

media. Developed by actors both inside and outside the traditional milieu of human

rights media, serious uses of gaming technologies meant to solve real-world problems

are relevant to those concerned about the role media can play in the analysis, cover-

age, and prevention of conflict.

(New) media and diaspora intervention in conflict resolution:

the case of Somalia


Annex

Somalia is the proverbial “failed state”. Since 1991 it has been largely without a

functioning central government and is instead ruled by clan-based warlords. It ranks

among the least developed countries in the world, radical Islamists operating from

both inside and outside the country have raised fears that Somalia, strategically locat-

ed in the Horn of Africa, could become a safe haven for terror groups like Al Qaida.

With pluralistic structures and a vibrant civil society largely absent, and media free-

dom severely curtailed, Somalis heavily rely on informal networks for news dissemi-

nation and policy dialogue. Traditionally a nomadic people, Somalis are keen users

of mobile communication technologies – high-tech hub Dubai is serviced regularly

from Mogadishu by air. Internet fora, run by the large and politically extremely vocal

Somali diaspora, greatly influence news dissemination and political dialogue at home.

But to what extent do these technologies contribute to conflict resolution? Can a

case be made for the absence of a functioning regulatory body – and, ultimately, the

absence of a functioning state?

Information technology: provoking or preventing conflict?

Hosted by Forum Computer Professionals for Peace and Social Responsibility (FIfF)

Room Minister

Often touted as progress benefiting humankind, information technology is now also

used instrumentally in conflict situations. The development of violent conflict into

asymmetrical warfare in particular would hardly be possible without the ubiquitous

nature of global information and communication networks. When in these aggressive

disputes one side has more sophisticated IT and military capabilities, the other side

resorts to bomb attacks, suicide bombings and other covert forms of warfare, even

beyond the actual theatre of war.

The causal relationship of these conflict scenarios calls for the evaluation of their

social and socio-political interactions. With the growing IT infiltration of society its

use and misuse are no longer separable. Hence every attempt at prevention creates

new conflicts as long as we do not reorient and reassess the application and handling

of information and communication technology.

War 2.0

Hosted by School for Advanced International Studies (SAIS), Washington, D.C. and

Pumpenhaus

War 2.0 argues that two intimately connected trends are putting modern armies

under huge pressure to adapt: the rise of insurgencies and the rise of the Web. Both in

cyberspace and in warfare, a public dimension has assumed increasing importance in

recent years.

Thomas Rid and Marc Hecker examine the public affairs policies of the U.S. land

forces, the British Army, and the Israel Defense Forces. They compare the media-re-

lated counter-insurgency methods of these conventional armies to the more success-

ful methods devised by their non-state adversaries, showing how such organizations

as Al-Qaeda, the Taliban, and Hezbollah use the Web not merely to advertise their

political agenda and influence public opinion, but to mobilize a following and put

insurgent operations into action. But the same technology that seems to level the

operational playing field in irregular warfare also incurs heavy costs on terrorists and

insurgents.

Media and money - journalism in times of financial crisis

Hosted by DW

Pumpenhaus

At first reports in the media on the financial crisis created a feeling of uneasiness

among users. Now the media industry is in crisis itself – economically because media

companies are also recording financial losses and must publish their own poor results,

and editorially due to criticism for reporting too naively on financial markets. So

who is at fault? Overwhelmed journalists wanting to conceal their ignorance? Media

companies tolerating poor quality due to a lack of editorial staff ? Or perhaps even

users who prefer glossy company portraits to complex explanations or warnings of a

possible collapse?

Has the media failed in its role as a watchdog during the current crisis? Were caution-

ary voices overheard? Were journalists and financial institutions working too closely

together? How can the industry cope with this crisis? Will journalistic quality be

sacrificed for economic restoration? Is there still a chance for more clarity and a new

sense of credibility?

Peaceful messages and war of frequencies – visions and ralities of broad-

casting as a mmeans of international understanding

Hosted By RWTH Aachen and Maastricht University

Annex

From a transnational historical perspective, the process of institutionalization of

public service radio broadcasting in europe after the First World War must be inter-

preted as a process of national appropriation and social shaping of radio as a broadcast

medium. Just as radio had done after the Great War, television played a central role

in the process of moral recovery in the post-WW2 crisis of national identity of many

countries. The historiography of broadcasting has been a favorite object of national

historical narratives, emphasizing the crucial role of broadcasting in the construc-

tion or stabilization of the nation as an imagined community. On the other hand, the

transnational character of radio waves made them an issue of cross-border negotiation

and legislation from the very beginning. The transnational character of broadcasting

therefore calls for an historical contextualization, reflecting the dynamics of a com-

munication tool that has reshaped time and space.

Special event: The BOBS 2008 award ceremony


Plenary Chamber

Concerning freedom of information and freedom of speech, blogs have become more

and more important. Around the world courageous bloggers take the risk of being

threatened and arrested for standing up for their opinion. Deutsche Welle recognizes

these efforts and awards the best blogs with an international blog award, The BOB.

The BOB awards are given in 16 categories both by online voting and by a blogger

jury. Five of the winners chosen by jury and online voting, representative of all win-

ners, will be awarded with The BOB in this ceremony.

The award winners can provide an authentic impression of what the situation for

bloggers is like in countries with oppressed media and how important new ways of

communication, such as mobile phones and the Internet, are for free expression. The

question of how new technologies change the use of access to information and the

(new) role of journalism in blogs can be discussed in an open panel.

Is there a future for the “old” media? A question which is subliminally negated in

blogs like the Spanish blog 233grados.com. Can these technologies assist the process

of democracy?

Suppressed websites - will censors lose the race?

Hosted by Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ)

Wasserwerk

Many governments are trying to ban websites with content that – in their opinion

– could be deemed unpatriotic or risky to national security. While government agen-

cies pulling the informational plug say their actions are in the country’s best interests,

dissidents, NGOs and free speech advocates say the trend is anti-democratic.

In countries with dictatorial regimes people who disagree with popular opinion are

being silenced and denied access to many websites. However, new technological

developments enable users to bypass censorship regulations. What techniques are cur-

rently available to access blocked websites? Will censors be able to catch up with these

new technologies? Who will win the race in the end?

The panel will offer a unique mix of global and regional expertise. Yang Hengjun, a

former Chinese government international political analyst, is among China‘s leading

independent bloggers today. Noha Atef, founder and editor of www.tortureinegypt.

News and information design for audio-visual media - How theatrical can,

might or should it be?

Hosted by eyes & ears of europe

Pumpenhaus

At first glance the notions of news and information on the one hand, and theatrics on

the other, seem to cancel each other out. Theatrics brings to mind artificial staging,

exaggeration and showiness. These are all characteristics that contradict the matter-

of-fact nature of news and information coverage, which serves the mandate of reveal-

ing the truth and reporting with cool distance, objectivity and balanced fairness. But

theatrics also poses opportunities to communicate and condense the presentation of

reality through images, signs and symbols. This age of digitalization, media-on-de-

mand, blogging and Web 2.0 opens many new and exciting possibilities for informa-

tion dissemination. But to what extent can the orchestration and special processing

of news and information using AV media contribute to disentangling complexity? Or

does it just lead to unwanted oversimplification, truncation, distortion and exaggera-

tion of the real world as news and information formats seek to portray it that cannot

be said to contribute in any positive way to sustainable conflict prevention?

Psyops for peace? A presentation on the methodology, role and achieve-

ments of the “Great Lakes Reconciliation Radio” project

Hosted by Radio La Benevolencija

Room AB

The basic idea behind “Great Lakes Reconciliation Radio” is to embed knowledge in

large civilian audiences living in conflict areas and to provide them with role models

on how to withstand incitement to violence, be it by outside influences or by their

own psychology. The project is based on the work of psychologists ervin Staub and

Laurie Anne Pearlman. Their systematic comparison of the psychology of genocides

around the world has resulted in a “simple-to-grasp vocabulary” of steps and elements

that lead people to commit violence, as well as a systemic work on combining this

knowledge with simple trauma treatment techniques, making this a potent civic tool

in traumatized societies in Rwanda, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Bu-

rundi. Using “entertainment and education” techniques developed at Johns Hopkins

University, this research is packaged into messages that form the basis for radio drama

series that have become immensely popular in Rwanda and Burundi. The campaigns

have now been running for six years and are ongoing. Impact evaluations run by

researchers from Yale University show groundbreaking evidence of positive impact of

such a broadcast activity on the attitudes and behaviors of audiences.

The trauma factor: the missing ingredient in conflict journalism?

Hosted by Dart Centre

Room C

Wherever it rages, conflict can have a profound psychological and intellectual impact.

Violence shapes individuals and the future development of their societies. Iraq, Gaza,

the Democratic Republic of Congo and post-war Cambodia are only some examples

of countries where large populations have been touched by terror and loss. In such

places every reporter is a trauma reporter.

Many other professionals – war crimes investigators and mental health professionals,

for instance – are trained in trauma awareness. They learn techniques for interview-

ing people in distress and maintaining their own resilience in the face of the horrors

they witness. Few journalists receive this kind of training. Interviewing a trauma-

tised, and potentially volatile, child soldier safely is no easy task. Similarly complex is

the ability to recover an accurate narrative from somebody who has been disorientat-

ed by prolonged sexual violence. All this only becomes harder, if – as is often the case

– the journalist him or herself has been a victim of past, political violence.

that war crimes against women are punished and their rights are respected – all over

the world.

medica mondiale is an international non-governmental organisation who supports

women and girls who have been sexually violated or suffer from other forms of

gender-based violence during war and civil conflict. Through target group-oriented

further education, international experts of various professional fields (i.e. develop-

and local NGOs in conflict areas are trained for trauma and gender-sensitive work

with affected women and girls.

Conflicts and responsible media - watcher of disaster...and actor of change

Hosted by media21

Annex

In a highly chaotic situation where millions of people are in danger, can media stay a

passive and neutral observer?

While preserving their independence and critical position, media and journalists

should acknowledge the huge power they possess de facto and their potential role as

player, both locally and internationally. Hence they may also be a resource for un-

derstanding between belligerents and exposure to the opposition’s mindset or toward

proposals for peace. But who knows how?

Security and the media

Hosted by Bonn International Center for Conversion (BICC) and Academy of the

German Armed Forces for Information and Communication (AIk)

Room Minister

The panel will critically reflect upon the role of the media in the securitization of

recent headline issues, be they terrorism, energy or climate change.

Securitization theory was developed by Barry Buzan, Ole Wæver and Jaap de Wilde

in their highly influential book Security: A New Framework for Analysis. It refers

to a succession of authoritative claims or statements wherein a particular problem is

successfully presented as an existential threat to a referent object, in turn requiring

emergency measures exceeding the normal bounds of political procedure by legiti-

mizing the breaking of established norms and rules.

The decision of whether an issue ought to be securitized or not should therefore not

be taken lightly. In most cases it might be better to opt for de-securitization – to

switch out of emergency mode and engage problems through the open and demo-

cratic deliberations of ‘normal’ politics. Depending on the ways in which they cover

certain issues and events, the media have a direct influence on whether they become

securitized or not. The panel will bring together a media representative and a political

scientist to discuss the responsibility of the media in this regard.

Pleasure, ideology and algorithm: the rise of the military entertainment

complex

Hosted by Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University

Plenary Chamber

In today’s technology-driven world, multimedia journalism increasingly resembles

infotainment, the military and entertainment industries join forces to form militain-

ment, and still other crossover concepts arise to blur the lines between previously

clearly segregated terrain.

Not only are contemporary video games with military themes strikingly realistic,

there are even cases which strive to replicate real-world events with journalistic

legitimacy. To some degree they have become tools for reporting and recruitment.

More than ever, cultural identity and perceptions of “the enemy” are as integral to

the video game framework as any amount of technological realism and sophistication.

The convergence of allegory and algorithm in computer digital games is redefin-

ing the way in which social and political narratives are constructed. This workshop

will explore the concepts of game play and cultural identity as well as the changing

relationship between gaming and interactive journalism.

Hosted by RIAS Berlin Commission

Wasserwerk

German and American journalists will discuss how TV and the electronic media

covers the issues of terrorism. What are the differences, what are the similarities? Has

anything changed since Sept. 11, 2001, when a shocked U.S. asked “why do they hate

us so much?” and the U.S. media promised to provide more background information

on the roots and causes of terrorism? Is the German media doing enough to live up

to the challenges of analyzing the reasons for this new global threat? What can the

media do at home and abroad to fight terrorism and a looming global division along

religious lines?

Civil society 2.0 - How digital media are changing politics in Turkey

Surfing, blogging, mailing – modern forms of communication have spread across

Turkey, connecting people to the global community. This exchange beyond frontiers

also dissolves traditional borders of thought.

New ideas and visions are emerging, not only concerning civil rights but also in

longer dominate public discourse.

The empire strikes back - Is the newly-found media freedom already head-

ing to an end?


Room FG

Satellite broadcasters Al Jazeera and Al Arabiya have long been known as trailblazers

of a cultural revolution in the Arab world. They were the first to offer programming

that wasn’t controlled by the national censors.

Over the years more and more media laws have been passed in the Arab world creat-

ing a kind of retroactive regulation. It was just this past year that Arabic information

ministers expanded their control over the Arabic media and satellite broadcasters.

There is currently movement in two directions: on the one hand, the control over the

media has increased, and on the other hand, the content that should be regulated is

being accessed on the Internet.

In the areas of politics and society, the Internet continues to develop new forms of

information and communication opportunities – all with unforeseen consequences.

The virtual world will soon be nearly as important as the real world. The entire

Internet, especially portals and communities like Wikipedia and Facebook, will con-

tinue to grow as well as being used and changed governments for their own purposes.

The complexity of the Internet has lead to tools like blogging being used not only by

the opposition, but also by government.

Who is going to determine the content and technical standards of the World Wide

Web in the future? Will the freedom of the Internet be undermined by the massive

influx of money, technology and people? Can users trust the credibility and autono-

my of online platforms?

Bypassing censorship through blogging? The blogosphere in Russia

Hosted by n-ost

Annex

Compared to Western europe, the blogosphere in Russia is vibrant and blogging

there is pervasive. Authorship differs, too. Most active bloggers are intellectuals who

write in the evenings what they cannot say at work during the day. The mostly state-

controlled mass media offer no outlet, so blogging is their alternative.

The opportunities bloggers have – and the powerful impact they can exercise on

popular opinion – are now well known by governments, too. But easy use and the

low distribution costs also entail problems in Russia. Anyone and everyone can blog

– can that qualify as serious reporting? Do blogs in Russia pose an adequate opportu-

nity to bypass censorship? What impact do they have on potential political upheaval

and crises? And how far is their reach?

The Center of Innovation for Media, Conflict, and Peacebuilding at the U.S. Insti-

the assessment of the media landscape in conflict situations. A long-time concern

of practitioners and donors alike, this template will offer a clear and concise process

for evaluating the range of opportunities and challenges in producing peacebuilding

programming in fragile states, providing a critical connection between integrating

strategic media programming with peacebuilding planning.

Although NGOs, donors, and policy makers have come to put considerable care

into deciding what kinds of conflict-transformation undertakings they are going

to launch, their discrete efforts have yet to be integrated into a unified assessment

framework for determining an optimal media intervention strategy. An integrated

assessment strategy that balances the social, political, cultural, and other needs of

stakeholders with the needs and abilities of the media would permit a coherent set of

options for achieving maximum impact.
