THE FUTURE OF THE MEDIA – A QUEST FOR GLOBAL EXCELLENCE

Changing media, growing competition, vanishing trust

Since 1981 the IJP actively promote discussion about the quality and ethics of global journalism. In our view changing media, growing competition and vanishing trust demand a thorough reappraisal of long-held assumptions and perceptions of the profession. The 3rd IJP Alumni Conference aimed to open the floor for a dedicated debate on the future of worldwide journalism. The aim was to bring together a great variety of international perspectives and individual backgrounds that have become the distinct trademark of the IJP.

The conference took place on September 7 - 8, 2007 in Bonn, Villa Hammerschmidt, under the patronage of the Federal President Horst Köhler in Cooperation with the M100 Sanssouci Colloquium.
