Hot Topics: The Fine Line Between Informing and Shaping Public Opinion

Friday, April 17, 2015

Session Description

Join leading global media executives and journalists in a lively discussion about news stories that drove headlines this past year and how the media chose to cover them. How do media outlets decide what to include? What information is selected to stay out? During intense coverage, do the media strike the right balance with objective reporting, or are they disproportionately driving public perception about an issue? Expect topics to range from the current challenges in Ukraine, to the next infectious disease in Africa, fallout from the Charlie Hebdo massacre, the continued Boko Haram kidnappings and suggestions from the crowd!
