The two-day conference includes keynotes, panels and workshops. Highlights include a panel discussion on social values in the media with Daniela Beaujean, Managing Director of the Association of Private Media, Florian Hager, Channel Manager of ARD-Mediathek and Dr Carsten Brosda, Senator for Culture and Media. Brosda stressed: "As a society, we must clarify the principles, values value-added mechanisms under which media and their competitors can and should operate. Free and self-determined media are the backbone of our society and the basis for a well-informed society." The conference is likely to provide important impulses for a sustainable media landscape and a forward-looking media policy in Germany and Europe.
