Radio News Conference 2012
14-15 June 2012
Prague
For its 2012 edition, to be held at the kind invitation of Czech Radio in the Czech capital Prague, the Radio News Conference addresses the role of public service journalists in today's world of ubiquitous media.
The advent of the real-time internet and citizen reporting brings with it unique challenges, and perhaps even new responsibilities for public service journalists. Focusing on democracy, quality and depth of reporting, the sessions explore what is meant by 'public service values' in the context of radio journalism in 2012.
EBU Members are warmly invited to browse the conference agenda, register and find information about hotels below.
