MORE THAN 200 PARTICIPANTS EXPECTED AT FORUM OF EUROPEAN AND ASIAN MEDIA 2012 IN MINSK
YEREVAN, December 7. /ARKA/. The Forum of European and Asian Media
(FEAM) 2012 on integration and new media in the post-soviet area
will bring together over 200 heads of leading mass media outlets
from CIS, Georgia and Baltic countries in Belarusian capital Minsk
on December 9-12.
The forum is held by RIA Novosti, supported by the Federal Agency
for Press and Mass Media.
According to Editor-in-Chief of RIA Novosti Svetlana Mironiuk,
European-Asian media space is better integrated than national
institutions, economic and social initiatives.
Media forum of CIS, Georgia and Baltic countries is a unique
platform for equal discussion of matters in media industry, both with
involvement of politicians and experts and without them, Mironiuk said.
FEAM-2012 is another opportunity to discuss common problems and
projects and become closer to each other, she said.
Eurasian integration will be the main topic of the upcoming forum.
Journalists, politicians, members of parliaments and media experts will
debate on future of integration projects, media-society interaction
and features of the new media in the post-soviet area.
The forum usually hosts well-known politicians, public figures and
culture experts. The leader of the host country used to participate
in the forum as well.
Special guest of the forum, director of the Russian Institute of
Economic Ruslan Grinberg expressed hope that the forum's participants
will discuss how to strengthen centripetal trends and how to counteract
the centrifugal ones.
"Russia and the post-soviet countries are really doomed for serious
cooperation because alone they will look very unhealthy and there
is a great probability of falling into a technological backwater,"
Grinberg said.
The discussion topics on the agenda are the role of mass media in
integration, globalization and media space in unsustainable world, new
life of traditional media, cultural and historic codes and modern media
formats, socialization problems of social networking website users.
An acute debate on "Wall against wall" will be held on "The internet:
unlimited information and the limits of freedom". The debate
participants will split up into two camps - supporters and opponents
of immersion into the Internet - and will defend their views. Media
expert Anton Khrekov is to be the referee of the dispute.
Director of Russia-based International Institute for Political
Expertise Yevgeniy Minchenko stressed the importance of giving mass
media and experts of different countries an opportunity to communicate
with each other both in formal and informal atmosphere.
"I may not have a momentary effect, but it is a platform that creates
common expert and information space," Minchenko said.
The forum participants and accredited reporters will have a chance
to attend a photo exhibition, "Post-soviet area: faces of the era".
Apart from that, winners of the "Best media project of FEAM-2012"
will be awarded in Minsk.
