International Media Panel Discussion
 |
|
The members of the International Media Panel Discussion will share some of the information that you may not get to read in the magazines. Media
coverage and journalism are not synonymous. They receive information from numerous sources. They are also monitoring situations and trends.
Reputable professional journalists need to check facts and making sure the issue is covered accurately, especially considering how many press
releases provide "information" that is biased, yet, masked as "facts". These journalists hold a balance from old-fashioned "shoe-
|
leather" reporting to the human touch and gaining trust from the people they interview, to substantive news coverage that is accurate, and to light-hearted
"snacking" content that flies around the internet and social media. How much do international media professionals know, that we don't know? What can we
find out and learn from what them?
