message from the host

The media bear a great responsibility – and this is especially true of their active role in conflict prevention. They must be aware of this responsibility – and be able to fulfil it. This is what we want to promote with the second edition of the Deutsche Welle Global Media Forum. This year, with the topic “Conflict Prevention in the Multimedia Age”, we address both established media producers and the new media protagonists from the various platforms. Issues involving civil society and the communication of values, governance and human rights, education and development naturally form an integral part of this theme. The many enquiries from prestigious institutions that are participating as partners for the first time show that we are on the right track with our concept. At over 50 different events, they will engage with the rapid developments on the international media markets and the future; role of both traditional and new media – in the context of regional and global crises. The success of the first conference last year encouraged not only Deutsche Welle to make the Global Media Forum in Bonn, with its international orientation and interdisciplinary approach, an established fixture: this year, more than 50 partner institutions and sponsors will take part, and representatives from media enterprises, non-governmental organizations and state and intergovernmental institutions will meet up. A large role has been played by the German Foreign Office and the Foundation for International Dialogue of the Savings Bank Bonn as co-organizers, and by the government of NRW, the City of Bonn and Deutsche Post, who have all given their support to the Forum. In the name of all participants, I wish you interesting discussions, stimulating impressions and a lively exchange of ideas. I am looking forward to continuing on from there next year.

Erik Bettermann Director General of Deutsche Welle

DEUTSCHE WELLE GLOBAL MEDIA FORUM

Message from the Federal Minister for Foreign Affairs

The multimedia world is in constant flux. Here, too, the pace of technological progress confronts us with ever new challenges. What is newsworthy is no longer decided only by the media and professional journalists but increasingly also by viewers or media users, who share opinions and discuss issues through a host of interactive media networks. We’re now seeing a growing trend towards greater speed as well as more participants, more interactive networks and more media. These new opportunities for communication call for an appropriate response from the traditional mass media. Deutsche Welle – Germany’s international broadcaster – is therefore planning strategic changes that will help it remain a credible and authentic voice for audiences around the world. It wants above all to expand its programs in all spheres, tailor them more systematically to different needs and also involve its increasingly active listeners, viewers and users in real dialogue. All this combined of course with its multilingual approach will make its international programs even more attractive. The 2009 Forum will explore the many facets of this ongoing transformation of the global media, focusing particularly on the growing number of information sources available around the world as well as on communications technologies and their impact on those living in crisis and conflict zones. In many parts of the world unhindered access to information, strong and independent media and professional journalism are still patchy or non-existent, although they are of key importance for the development of genuinely pluralistic societies. As a broadcaster committed to journalism ethics and democratic values, Deutsche Welle has for decades been working in close cooperation with the Federal Foreign Office to promote these core ingredients of pluralism. The Federal Foreign Office supports particularly the DW-Akademie training programs designed to help young journalists

3 –5 JUNE 2009 · BONN, GERMANY

hone their editorial skills and familiarize them with media ethics and good practice. We also sponsor direct-impact projects such as the radio education program “Learning by Ear” in Africa. For all these reasons I take a keen interest in the Global Media Forum and so, as in previous years, I readily agreed to support this year’s conference. I wish you all interesting encounters, intensive exchanges and stimulating discussions. Frank-Walter Steinmeier Federal Minister for Foreign Affairs

message from the STATE GOVERNMENT OF NRW

It is a pleasure for me to welcome all of the national and international guests to the Deutsche Welle Global Media Forum. I am convinced that we can repeat the huge success of last year’s conference again this year. Or to be more optimistic: we will do our very best to top last year’s good results. Conflict prevention in the Multimedia Age is one of the most important challenges in our times. During the next three days, the Deutsche Welle’s Global Media Forum will bring together international journalists, media users and producers, peace-building and conflict-prevention specialists, as well as representatives from various media institutions. They are all here to network and to discuss solutions for the future of our one world. I wish all of the participants at the Deutsche Welle Global Media Forum successful debates, a fruitful exchange of opinions, and the chance to attain a new level of knowledge. The conference offers participants the opportunity to make new contacts and brings together a large number of experts from all over the world. The Media Industry in our State has become a strong economic sector. More than 330,000 people are active in this branch. North RhineWestphalia is Germany’s leader in the Media World. We are proud of this development and, at the same time, eager to communicate with the International Media World. For these reasons I am convinced that all our guests will find a productive atmosphere at all the meetings, workshops and other events during the conference. Please allow me to welcome you to our country. Enjoy your stay in our wonderful region and take home with you new contacts, new friends and hopefully a good impression that will bring you back to us in the future.

Andreas Krautscheid Minister for Federal Affairs, Europe and Media of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia

message from the lady mayor of Bonn

As the Mayor of Bonn I extend a warm welcome to the participants of the second Deutsche Welle Global Media Forum. I am delighted that Deutsche Welle International Broadcasting has organised this annual event. Its international attendance list and sustainability content and objectives make Bonn – Germany’s United Nations City – an excellent choice of venue. The triangle made up by the World Conference Center Bonn, Deutsche Welle International Broadcasting and the UN Campus serves to promote sustainability. Bonn is home to some 19 UN organizations, over 150 NGOs, numerous scientific institutions, multinational businesses, other authorities and, of course, the media. Bonn stands for interdisciplinary cooperation, new perspectives and innovation in telecommunications. Deutsche Welle International Broadcasting brings free and independent journalism to an increasingly global world. Last year, the Global Media Forum dealt with the role of the media in peacekeeping and conflict prevention. This year it will focus on conflict and the media in a digital world – from content supply to how the new media influences conflict worldwide. Again, there are many links to Bonn-based actors and their agendas. These include the United Nations University, the Bonn International Conversion Center and the telecommunications giants domiciled in Bonn. So welcome to Bonn and to a challenging conference. May you spread this spirit of dialogue and cooperation when you return home. And, if you happen to have some spare time in the next few days, I would like to invite you to explore our beautiful city.

Bärbel Dieckmann Lady Mayor of Bonn

message from THE CO-HOST

Sparkasse KölnBonn supports initiatives and projects that benefit the Cologne-Bonn region. One such initiative is the “Stiftung Internationale Begegnung der Sparkasse in Bonn” [Foundation for International Dialogue of the Sparkasse in Bonn], an organization whose activities demonstrate that the principle of a global approach to our present and our future is an essential element of sound regional policy. The Global Media Forum is an excellent example of that principle, as it promotes international understanding and cooperative development work in the Federal and UN city of Bonn through its commitment to international dialogue in the field of science and research. Today, media have a greater impact on everyday private and professional life than ever before. One of the greatest challenges we face is that of processing the flood of information, assessing its truth content and distinguishing between what is important and what is not. Media producers and media consumers alike are engaged in a never-ending process of learning how to deal with both traditional and new media. The Global Media Forum offers you an opportunity to discuss regional matters of global significance as well as global issues of regional importance in events, forums and networks in the Federal City of Bonn. On behalf of the “Stiftung Internationale Begegnung der Sparkasse in Bonn” I wish you all interesting discussions, new ideas and new perspectives that you can take home and pursue further after the Forum is over.

New direction of U.S. foreign policy: from confrontation to dialogue Hosted by Deutsche Welle Washington Plenary Chamber According to the White House foreign policy agenda, President Obama and Vice President Biden will renew America’s security and standing in the world through a new era of American leadership: “Now is the time for a new era of international cooperation that strengthens old partnerships and builds new ones to confront the common challenges of the 21st century.” As the Vice President said in a foreign policy speech at an international conference in February in Munich, “the U.S. vision on foreign and security policy will make a symbolic break with the Bush years by emphasising co-operation, multilateralism, diplomacy and the need for strong partnerships”. Meanwhile there are indications that the Obama administration is making efforts to improve relations and reopen dialogue with Syria, Iran and North Korea, and is perhaps even reaching out to parts of the Taliban. This panel will target the changes in American foreign policy and its effects on the media agenda and efforts for conflict prevention.

How can technologies and information be leveraged to manage crises better?

3 June 2:30 p.m.

Hosted by ICT4peace Wasserwerk Information and communication technologies (ICTs) in crisis early-warning, response and management can save lives through effective and timely action. However, crisis response and disaster relief operations today continue to be handicapped by out-dated and ill-defined information practices, processes and technologies. Interoperability between agencies and systems, collaboration between humanitarian and peace-building actors, critical information sharing between governments and NGOs all need to be strengthened. What technological capabilities and organisational commitments are needed to address the challenges today? How will the United Nations act as a global thought-leader in this regard? We already have Web and Internet tools, services and platforms with millions of users – can they be leveraged to transform crises and for humanitarian aid? Why will crisis information management play a vital role in peacekeeping and peace-building operations in the future?

Security leaks in cross-border data flows Hosted by NASSCOM Pumpenhaus Day and night, sensitive and confidential data from banks, hospitals and health insurance companies, to name just a few, crosses the borders from the so-called developed world to be processed in computer centers in the South. After processing, this data then flows back to the companies from where it emanated. Like predators along these data highways, data pirates and other digital criminals convene to attack such data and either steal or change it. How secure are our international data corridors? Can really sensitive data fall into the hands of terrorists or just plain criminals?

The mutual responsibility of the armed forces and civil society Hosted by Academy of the German Armed Forces for Information and Communication (AIK) Room C The German armed forces – founded in the 1950s – is the first German military controlled by parliament. One of the underlying concepts of the armed forces is the organizational idea of “internal guidance”. The self-perception of the soldier here is that – even while wearing a uniform – he is still a citizen with all rights and duties. The soldier is a part of society. But what happens if you look at society as being separated from the military? What should the relationship between society and the armed forces look like – especially in times of changing political security and increasing missions in foreign countries? Is there a mutual responsibility? Can the armed forces rely on society and society on its armed forces? Does society support the missions sanctioned by parliament? How do the media see this mutual responsibility and how do they report on it?

Partnership for Peace: Cooperation between media and civil society institutions Hosted by World Catholic Association for Communication (SIGNIS) and Global Partnership for the Prevention of Armed Conflicts (GPPAC) Room FG The developments in multimedia have had an undeniable effect on the world. The resulting increase in interconnectedness and possibilities of interaction and participation have changed traditional roles and demarcations in the global community. When it comes to socio-political realities and developments, changes are clearly noticeable, equally so for armed conflicts and strategies of conflict prevention and peace building. At the same time, it has long been recognized that when it comes to dealing with

conflicts and violence, it is essential to work with a multi-stakeholder approach. To put it simply, no one can do it alone. Traditional actors, each with their own influence on exacerbating or resolving armed conflicts, like armed factions, governments, civil society, media, inter-governmental organizations etc. all need to be involved and cooperate to be able to come to a durable and sustainable solution. However, the changes that multimedia developments have brought for each of these stakeholders, require a re-estimation of the roles and responsibilities of each of these actors when it comes to conflict prevention and peace building. And, potentially more importantly, they require a re-evaluation of how these different actors can and/or should cooperate.

Constructive innovation journalism Hosted by Stanford University Lobby Vice-Anbau Journalism can enable its audience to solve conflicts and crisis through a constant flow of stories about new, innovative ways to solve problems and insight into how well society is organized to make such innovations happen. This requires breaking the silo mentality of the traditional news beats since innovation is not a question of politics, business or technology, but a combination of these. This is not about sugarcoating and hiding realities; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about enabling people to find solutions to serious problems. In this workshop we will discuss the role of journalism in enabling societies to discuss new solutions to their problems, as well as their ability to find such solutions.

The role of media in peace building processes in Pakistan Hosted by Deutsche Welle Room Minister Pakistani media have been working under several restrictions and hurdles due to less tolerance from influential quarters. Despite strict media laws and impositions of bans, they still play a vital and courageous role in critical situations and important issues affecting the nation and influencing regional and world affairs. Pakistan’s contribution to fighting the war against terrorism is fully supported by the media. The delicate situation at the borders with India and Afghanistan has always been sensibly portrayed by the media. At the moment Pakistan is navigating a critical phase of its history and is tied in difficult situations. Relations with India are at ‘zero tolerance’ level after the tragic incident of terrorism in Mumbai recently. The border with Afghanistan is not safe due to ongoing fighting with the Taliban. Normal life in the country is also negatively affected and is unsafe due to suicide attacks. Pakistan needs immediate and permanent peace for the stabilization of its shattered economy and upholding its national repute. The media are more or less playing their due role in peace-building but their efforts can be accelerated and made more effective through joint efforts and constant dialogue on specified objectives.

Mediators under sustained fire from television images Example from the Balkans Hosted by Deutsche Welle Wasserwerk War is conducted by politicians in situation rooms and officers in the field, but a war’s image is determined by pictures. Television reports from war and crisis regions influence the decision-making process, especially when these images are available to the public. Just a few seconds of video material can be enough to determine (or help determine) the decision on war or diplomacy, intervention or prevention. This became crystal clear during the Yugoslavian conflicts in the 1990s. Images from the massacre in Srebrenica, from supposed concentration camps in Omarska and from artillery attacks in the middle of Sarajevo are still remembered – and they directly influenced the political decisions back then. How does television influence politics? Do these images obstruct the nonpartisan point of view? How much pressure was put on the mediators?

Surviving kidnap Hosted by Dart Centre

3 June 4:30 p.m.

Room C The fear of being kidnapped is a daily reality for journalists working in unstable political environments. Any attack on the press can wreak havoc on the media’s ability to report but the terror of abduction places particular psychological challenges on newsrooms, journalists and their families. What – if anything – can individuals do to increase their personal resilience during such an ordeal? How does one manage the demanding transition from captivity back to freedom? What responsibilities do news organizations have towards the families and loved ones of a kidnap victim? What should editors do during the crisis, and what should they have in place in case a member of their staff is abducted? Addressing these questions, the panel will include journalists and editors who have experienced abduction together with psychology and safety experts. News teams from the world’s richer countries can mobilize impressive resources to protect journalists and their families. The focus here will be on Latin America and Asia and what smaller, less cash-rich, local news organizations and their reporters can do to weather the kidnap threat.

The mobile phone as a conflict prevention tool Hosted by Voices of Africa Media Foundation

3 June 4:30 p.m.

Raum Minister The mobile phone has ceased to be just a telecommunication device to become a multimedia news-making tool that can be used as a video camera, sound recorder, Web browser and so on. As the majority of people own one – which makes it less intimidating – the mobile phone is indisputably the most efficient device for measuring the political and social temperature that, if not controlled in time, can escalate into conflict. Conflicts are the culmination of long processes that can be traced back in time, and mobile reports can help in this tracing process. With the presence of four young Africans filing mobile reports in and about their local communities, the Voices of Africa Media Foundation wants to share during this workshop not only its experience in detecting the seed of conflict in Kenya, but also how that experience can serve as inspiration for other regions and contexts.

Re-inventing journalism? Journalistic training in the social media age Hosted by DW-AKADEMIE Wasserwerk The attacks in Mumbai and the crash of a passenger plane in the Hudson River mark two further examples of an unstoppable media revolution. More and more professional journalists around the globe are finding themselves having to play catch-up with eyewitnesses when reporting breaking stories. Armed with mobile camera phones connected to the Internet, these citizen journalists are often determining the direction of news coverage. People who up until recently were just “users” or “consumers” of media are now often presented on-screen as instant correspondents. The technology behind the speedy development is called social media. This catch phrase describes Web platforms where users can have an open exchange of opinions, views and personal experiences. In other words, on social media platforms anyone can communicate with anyone, anytime about any topic. The speed in which this development has progressed is mind-boggling. In 2004, the fastest medium for reactions to the terrorist attacks in Madrid was pure text messaging. With the attack on Mumbai four years later, eyewitness accounts including pictures and videos were exchanged through social networking sites like Twitter, flickr and YouTube. The “Personal News Agency” was born – to conventional media either a competitor or a new partner, depending on your view. More speed, more participants, more linkage, more media: new technologies are leading to continuously changing possibilities in communication. This has had a significant impact on the working conditions and the professional expectations of journalists and at the same time demands new means of specialized training. The journalistic training symposium will focus on these current trends and challenges. Among the strategies that will be discussed will be how journalists can utilize the fast-evolving media landscape to their benefit.

Program thursday, 4 june 2009

The following questions will be at the center of the symposium: » What is expected of journalists today and are these expectations justified? » W hich qualifications and degree of knowledge do journalists need to report professionally, objectively and visibly better than the new players in the news market? » How are journalistic education and/or training adapting to the emerging challenges brought on by new media and the changing media landscape? » Social media platforms like Twitter, flickr and blogs can be valuable tools for journalists. Can they use these modern technologies to improve their reporting and if so, how? » The development of the media in developing and transforming countries is often shaped by unclear dynamics. How is journalistic training taking place in these complicated media landscapes? » Can social media platforms help in circumventing censorship? What opportunities do they offer for free and borderless communication and what does this mean for journalists? 09:30 - 09:45 Opening Address Gerda Meuer, Director DW-AKADEMIE, Germany

09:45 - 11:00 Gerda Meuer Panel 1: Rethinking journalism – Preparing for an uncertain future Today weblogs, wikis, podcasts and online videos are connecting users to knowledge and resources like never before. This growing variety of platforms and the ever-expanding online networks of data and content offer endless possibilities, but also pose new challenges. How will these topics play out in terms of journalism? And what does it mean for the training and continuing education of journalists?

and digital video cameras and archive shelves have been replaced by hard drives; the advantages of these developments are obvious. On the other hand, the disadvantages often only become clear in practice. Unlike analog technologies, which are basically straightforward, the complete flexibility of digital tools can be overwhelming. What if an audio or video editing program is not intuitively understood? Using real-world examples, including a community radio project in West Africa and a digital audio archiving project in Vietnam, the opportunities and challenges of such technologies will be discussed.

At least this is the hope of those who want to promote development and democratization through supporting journalists worldwide. But journalists act within complex systems and are subject to numerous factors of influence. Such factors, like the degree of press freedom, the regulatory situation in a country or economic independence of the media can promote, block and/or hinder professional journalism. Those who aim for sustainability in media development have to be aware of and consider the dominant factors of influence which shed light on the degree to which professionalization projects can be successful. Panel 3a will investigate which influencing factors are beneficial for the sustainability of media projects. It also asks how these factors can be influenced positively. International experts discuss the preconditions and guarantees for sustainable training and present starting points for networked strategies and initiatives.

How will quality journalism then be defined? And will it remain in sufficient demand to survive? What is more threatening to classic journalism – the pervasion of the once passive, now increasingly active public into the sphere of journalism or the movement of users from traditional consumer-oriented media to self-produced content? What happens when members of the traditional media adopt the methods and platforms of social media? Where would their “unique selling point” then lie?

Multimedia revolution and the traditional media Hosted by Deutsche Welle Plenary Chamber

4 June 9:30 p.m.

Multimedia revolution has been one of the biggest buzzwords among media people for more than ten years. But not until the last couple of years have the frown lines on the faces of many media managers started becoming seriously deeper. Web 2.0 applications such as YouTube, flickr and Facebook are consuming the media time budget of young audiences. Bloggers and Internet-only broadcasters compete for the attention of users, online publications like the Huffington Post deliver free news to everyone, causing media managers like Bodo Hombach of the internationally active German multimedia corporation, WAZ Group, to fear that with the omnipresence of free media, the end of quality journalism might be near.

From joysticks to body count: ethical aspects of modern warfare Hosted by Deutsche Welle Pumpenhaus Human beings have been fighting each other since prehistoric times, and people have been discussing the rights and wrongs of it for almost as long. The purpose of war ethics is to help decide what is right or wrong, both for individuals and countries, and to contribute to debates on public policy, and ultimately to government and individual action. War ethics also leads to the creation of formal codes of war (e.g. the Hague and Geneva conventions), the drafting and implementation of rules of engagement for soldiers, and in the punishment of soldiers and others for war crimes. How can the media make a meaningful contribution to answer the following three key questions? Is it ever right to go to war? When is it right to wage war? What is the moral way to conduct a war? Modern computer technology in connection with the development of unmanned fighting machines on the ground, in the air and under the sea makes the problem even more pressing: can the decision over life and death be left to machines who “are not bright enough to be called stupid”?

Covering conflicts in Liberia Hosted by Institute of Applied Media Studies IAM of Zurich University of Applied Sciences ZHAW Room AB A decade of thinking around journalism covering conflicts has produced quite a lot of different theoretical concepts, from ‘de-escalating journalism’ to ‘conflict-sensitive journalism’, ‘peace journalism’ and ‘conflict transformation media’. To bring the debate about these concepts a step further, a research project in Liberia is especially dedicated to reviewing the practise of journalism and assessing how different media (4 newspapers and 10 radio stations) have covered conflicts in Liberia. For comparative reasons it looks at various media with different concepts for covering conflict and also investigates less contentious themes, like reconstruction of schools and roads.

Program thursday, 4 june 2009

The first results of this project allow assessing questions like: What are the differences in actual reporting between ‘peace-oriented’ stations and normal media? Do they realize their different concepts: How do they provide information on the background of conflicts, on different viewpoints, on solutions? Do they use stereotypes differently? What are the differences in covering conflict in comparison with coverage of other issues? What are the differences between newspapers (elite-oriented) and radio (larger audience-oriented).

Media, power politics and post-electoral disputes Hosted by the Program in Comparative Media Law and Policy, University of Oxford Room C Room C

4 June 11:30 p.m.

As part of a post-war nation and state building process, leaders are often under substantial pressure, both internal and external, to hold elections. In Africa competitive elections have often been delayed for years, or even decades, allowing the ruling parties time to consolidate power. This project is often met with a varying range of success. However, in recent years an increasing number of competitive multi-party elections have been held which have in turn posed a greater risk of post-election disputes. This panel will examine the complex relationship between the media and those in power, or seeking power in post-war contexts. All forms of media, from newspapers to blogs to poetry, can have a role in both exacerbating and mediating tensions. Using case studies from the continent we will analyze the particular nexus between efforts in the post-war consolidation of power, the media and competitive elections. Possible options for interventions and regulation will also be considered.

With all the sources of information out there – newspapers, radio, TV, blogs, other online resources – people who want to find out what’s going on in the world probably have more choices than ever before. That‘s a good thing for consumers. The number of television channels around the world is already huge and continues to grow. Specialized news channels provide live coverage and news from all continents round the clock. However, does this multitude of channels, the increased competition and the pressure of deadlines still allow for profound reporting? How can media avoid impairing stories due to lack of funds and experienced journalists? To what extent can debates on ethics and credibility help maintain journalistic standards in the changing media environment? Presenters: Ruxandra Obreja, BBC World Service Controller, Business Development & Chairman, DRM Consortium Lem Van Eupen, Radio Netherlands World (RNW) Head of Strategy Arthur Landwehr, SWR Chief editor, Radio, Deputy Director Radio Kris Boswell, Radio Sweden, Head of the English and German services Petra Kohnen, CEO for editorial matters, Euranet

The impact of new media on political transparency in turbulent times Hosted by the International Institute for Journalism of InWEnt – Capacity Building International Annex Access to information is essential to the development and health of democracy. By helping to understand operations of government the media ensure that citizens make responsible and informed choices. In addition, independent and critical media serve as a watchdog by holding government officials and political decision makers accountable. The media are especially crucial to the conduct of democratic elections. Free and fair elections are not only about casting votes in proper conditions but also about having adequate information about parties, policies, candidates and the election process. The media is now well-recognized as a critical influence in whether societies resort to violent conflict or not. Increased media professionalism has a powerful ameliorating influence on violent conflict. With the growing influence of new media the monopoly of professional journalists on the publication of news and views has gone forever. Weblogs, podcasts, web-videos and mobile reporting generate an information flow and enhance network reporting that has the potential to challenge closed-door politics. Presenters: Astrid Kohl, Head of the International Institute for Journalism (IIJ) Astrid Kohl, head of the International Institute for Journalism (IIJ), joined InWEnt - Capacity Building International, Germany, in December 2006. She designed an advanced training course on the media’s role in conflict transformation and peace building for mid-career journalists from West African countries. Previously, she worked as an international media adviser in Kiev, Ukraine, and reported as a permanent correspondent on Eastern European affairs for the Swiss daily Neue Zürcher Zeitung.

Political conflicts in Europe and the role of the media Hosted by Konrad Adenauer Foundation Plenary Chamber Marking the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Iron Curtain, the Konrad Adenauer Foundation is calling attention to the role of the media during the political change in central and Eastern Europe from 1989-1990.

4 June 2:30 p.m.

Visitors from Germany, Poland and Romania will be called upon as references and witnesses. With the expansion of the Internet and mobile technology in the second half the 1990s, new methods of mass communication and information have been established. These new media channels have played an important role during political upheaval in Serbia in 2000, Georgia in 2003 (the Tulip Revolution) and Ukraine in 2004 (the Orange Revolution). Guests from these countries will report on these issues. The goal is to identify the role of new media and the opportunities and risks during future political conflicts.

From representation to simulation: serious games and new approaches to crisis media Hosted by Saarland University Room AB How do we respond to the compassion fatigue among news audiences confronted with the ever-same images of crisis, with reports that follow all-too-established protocols of crisis coverage, and analyses that do little to encourage the development of alternative perspectives on conflict prevention? So-called serious games offer an opportunity to re-engage the question of crisis media. Developed by actors both inside and outside the traditional milieu of human rights media, serious uses of gaming technologies meant to solve real-world problems are relevant to those concerned about the role media can play in the analysis, coverage, and prevention of conflict.

Media behavior in conflict zones: a global overview Hosted by InterMedia Room C

4 June 2:30 p.m.

This session will look at patterns of media use in areas of the world where conflict and unrest is rife and where reliable media research can be carried out. Using data from surveys and qualitative research carried out by InterMedia in recent years, the session will examine trends, looking particularly at how new technologies are influencing the ways in which media are being used. The analysis will provide pointers for those using the media to convey material seeking to alleviate or resolve conflict, helping them to make more informed choices about the ways in which they use media, based on the behavior of actual users. Examples will be drawn from quantitative and qualitative research carried out in a selection of the following countries/environments: Afghanistan, Democratic Republic of Congo, Georgia, Haiti, Kosovo, Lebanon, Pakistan, Somalia (Mogadishu), Tibet (research with refugees) and Zimbabwe.

(New) media and diaspora intervention in conflict resolution: the case of Somalia Hosted by Deutsche Welle Annex Somalia is the proverbial “failed state”. Since 1991 it has been largely without a functioning central government and is instead ruled by clan-based warlords. It ranks among the least developed countries in the world, radical Islamists operating from both inside and outside the country have raised fears that Somalia, strategically located in the Horn of Africa, could become a safe haven for terror groups like Al Qaida. With pluralistic structures and a vibrant civil society largely absent, and media freedom severely curtailed, Somalis heavily rely on informal networks for news dissemination and policy dialogue. Traditionally a nomadic people, Somalis are keen users of mobile communication technologies – high-tech hub Dubai is serviced regularly from Mogadishu by air. Internet fora, run by the large and politically extremely vocal Somali diaspora, greatly influence news dissemination and political dialogue at home. But to what extent do these technologies contribute to conflict resolution? Can a case be made for the absence of a functioning regulatory body – and, ultimately, the absence of a functioning state?

Information technology: provoking or preventing conflict? Hosted by Forum Computer Professionals for Peace and Social Responsibility (FIf F) Room Minister

4 June 2:30 p.m.

Often touted as progress benefiting humankind, information technology is now also used instrumentally in conflict situations. The development of violent conflict into asymmetrical warfare in particular would hardly be possible without the ubiquitous nature of global information and communication networks. When in these aggressive disputes one side has more sophisticated IT and military capabilities, the other side resorts to bomb attacks, suicide bombings and other covert forms of warfare, even beyond the actual theatre of war. The causal relationship of these conflict scenarios calls for the evaluation of their social and socio-political interactions. With the growing IT infiltration of society its use and misuse are no longer separable. Hence every attempt at prevention creates new conflicts as long as we do not reorient and reassess the application and handling of information and communication technology. Panelists: Cristopher Kullenberg, Editor, Resistance Studies Magazine Christopher Kullenberg is a doctoral candidate in the subject of theory of science.

War 2.0 Hosted by School for Advanced International Studies (SAIS), Washington, D.C. and Institut franรงais des relations internationales (Ifri), Paris Pumpenhaus War 2.0 argues that two intimately connected trends are putting modern armies under huge pressure to adapt: the rise of insurgencies and the rise of the Web. Both in cyberspace and in warfare, a public dimension has assumed increasing importance in recent years.

4 June 4:30 p.m.

Thomas Rid and Marc Hecker examine the public affairs policies of the U.S. land forces, the British Army, and the Israel Defense Forces. They compare the media-related counter-insurgency methods of these conventional armies to the more successful methods devised by their non-state adversaries, showing how such organizations as Al-Qaeda, the Taliban, and Hezbollah use the Web not merely to advertise their political agenda and influence public opinion, but to mobilize a following and put insurgent operations into action. But the same technology that seems to level the operational playing field in irregular warfare also incurs heavy costs on terrorists and insurgents.

Media and money - journalism in times of financial crisis Hosted by DW Pumpenhaus At first reports in the media on the financial crisis created a feeling of uneasiness among users. Now the media industry is in crisis itself – economically because media companies are also recording financial losses and must publish their own poor results, and editorially due to criticism for reporting too naively on financial markets. So who is at fault? Overwhelmed journalists wanting to conceal their ignorance? Media companies tolerating poor quality due to a lack of editorial staff ? Or perhaps even users who prefer glossy company portraits to complex explanations or warnings of a possible collapse? Has the media failed in its role as a watchdog during the current crisis? Were cautionary voices overheard? Were journalists and financial institutions working too closely together? How can the industry cope with this crisis? Will journalistic quality be sacrificed for economic restoration? Is there still a chance for more clarity and a new sense of credibility?

Peaceful messages and war of frequencies â&#x20AC;&#x201C; visions and ralities of broadcasting as a mmeans of international understanding Hosted By RWTH Aachen and Maastricht University Annex From a transnational historical perspective, the process of institutionalization of public service radio broadcasting in Europe after the First World War must be interpreted as a process of national appropriation and social shaping of radio as a broadcast medium. Just as radio had done after the Great War, television played a central role in the process of moral recovery in the post-WW2 crisis of national identity of many countries. The historiography of broadcasting has been a favorite object of national historical narratives, emphasizing the crucial role of broadcasting in the construction or stabilization of the nation as an imagined community. On the other hand, the transnational character of radio waves made them an issue of cross-border negotiation and legislation from the very beginning. The transnational character of broadcasting therefore calls for an historical contextualization, reflecting the dynamics of a communication tool that has reshaped time and space.

Five of the winners chosen by jury and online voting, representative of all winners, will be awarded with The BOB in this ceremony. The award winners can provide an authentic impression of what the situation for bloggers is like in countries with oppressed media and how important new ways of communication, such as mobile phones and the Internet, are for free expression. The question of how new technologies change the use of access to information and the (new) role of journalism in blogs can be discussed in an open panel. Is there a future for the “old” media? A question which is subliminally negated in blogs like the Spanish blog 233grados.com. Can these technologies assist the process of democracy?

Suppressed websites - will censors lose the race? Hosted by Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) Wasserwerk Many governments are trying to ban websites with content that – in their opinion – could be deemed unpatriotic or risky to national security. While government agencies pulling the informational plug say their actions are in the country’s best interests, dissidents, NGOs and free speech advocates say the trend is anti-democratic. In countries with dictatorial regimes people who disagree with popular opinion are being silenced and denied access to many websites. However, new technological developments enable users to bypass censorship regulations. What techniques are currently available to access blocked websites? Will censors be able to catch up with these new technologies? Who will win the race in the end?

News and information design for audio-visual media - How theatrical can, might or should it be? Hosted by Eyes & Ears of Europe Pumpenhaus

5 June 9:30 p.m.

At first glance the notions of news and information on the one hand, and theatrics on the other, seem to cancel each other out. Theatrics brings to mind artificial staging, exaggeration and showiness. These are all characteristics that contradict the matterof-fact nature of news and information coverage, which serves the mandate of revealing the truth and reporting with cool distance, objectivity and balanced fairness. But theatrics also poses opportunities to communicate and condense the presentation of reality through images, signs and symbols. This age of digitalization, media-on-demand, blogging and Web 2.0 opens many new and exciting possibilities for information dissemination. But to what extent can the orchestration and special processing of news and information using AV media contribute to disentangling complexity? Or does it just lead to unwanted oversimplification, truncation, distortion and exaggeration of the real world as news and information formats seek to portray it that cannot be said to contribute in any positive way to sustainable conflict prevention?

Psyops for peace? A presentation on the methodology, role and achievements of the “Great Lakes Reconciliation Radio” project Hosted by Radio La Benevolencija Room AB

5. June 9:30 p.m.

The basic idea behind “Great Lakes Reconciliation Radio” is to embed knowledge in large civilian audiences living in conflict areas and to provide them with role models on how to withstand incitement to violence, be it by outside influences or by their own psychology. The project is based on the work of psychologists Ervin Staub and Laurie Anne Pearlman. Their systematic comparison of the psychology of genocides around the world has resulted in a “simple-to-grasp vocabulary” of steps and elements that lead people to commit violence, as well as a systemic work on combining this knowledge with simple trauma treatment techniques, making this a potent civic tool in traumatized societies in Rwanda, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Burundi. Using “entertainment and education” techniques developed at Johns Hopkins University, this research is packaged into messages that form the basis for radio drama series that have become immensely popular in Rwanda and Burundi. The campaigns have now been running for six years and are ongoing. Impact evaluations run by researchers from Yale University show groundbreaking evidence of positive impact of such a broadcast activity on the attitudes and behaviors of audiences.

The trauma factor: the missing ingredient in conflict journalism? Hosted by Dart Centre Room C

5 June 9:30 p.m.

Wherever it rages, conflict can have a profound psychological and intellectual impact. Violence shapes individuals and the future development of their societies. Iraq, Gaza, the Democratic Republic of Congo and post-war Cambodia are only some examples of countries where large populations have been touched by terror and loss. In such places every reporter is a trauma reporter. Many other professionals – war crimes investigators and mental health professionals, for instance – are trained in trauma awareness. They learn techniques for interviewing people in distress and maintaining their own resilience in the face of the horrors they witness. Few journalists receive this kind of training. Interviewing a traumatised, and potentially volatile, child soldier safely is no easy task. Similarly complex is the ability to recover an accurate narrative from somebody who has been disorientated by prolonged sexual violence. All this only becomes harder, if – as is often the case – the journalist him or herself has been a victim of past, political violence.

Hence they may also be a resource for understanding between belligerents and exposure to the oppositionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mindset or toward proposals for peace. But who knows how?

Security and the media Hosted by Bonn International Center for Conversion (BICC) and Academy of the German Armed Forces for Information and Communication (AIK) Room Minister The panel will critically reflect upon the role of the media in the securitization of recent headline issues, be they terrorism, energy or climate change.

5 June 11:30 p.m.

Securitization theory was developed by Barry Buzan, Ole Wæver and Jaap de Wilde in their highly influential book Security: A New Framework for Analysis. It refers to a succession of authoritative claims or statements wherein a particular problem is successfully presented as an existential threat to a referent object, in turn requiring emergency measures exceeding the normal bounds of political procedure by legitimizing the breaking of established norms and rules. The decision of whether an issue ought to be securitized or not should therefore not be taken lightly. In most cases it might be better to opt for de-securitization – to switch out of emergency mode and engage problems through the open and democratic deliberations of ‘normal’ politics. Depending on the ways in which they cover certain issues and events, the media have a direct influence on whether they become securitized or not. The panel will bring together a media representative and a political scientist to discuss the responsibility of the media in this regard. Chair: Jörgen Klußmann, Director of Protestant Academy in Rhineland Jörgen worked as news editor for Deutsche Welle and Deutschlandfunk and as press

Pleasure, ideology and algorithm: the rise of the military entertainment complex Hosted by Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University Plenary Chamber

5 June 11:30 p.m.

In today’s technology-driven world, multimedia journalism increasingly resembles infotainment, the military and entertainment industries join forces to form militainment, and still other crossover concepts arise to blur the lines between previously clearly segregated terrain. Not only are contemporary video games with military themes strikingly realistic, there are even cases which strive to replicate real-world events with journalistic legitimacy. To some degree they have become tools for reporting and recruitment. More than ever, cultural identity and perceptions of “the enemy” are as integral to the video game framework as any amount of technological realism and sophistication. The convergence of allegory and algorithm in computer digital games is redefining the way in which social and political narratives are constructed. This workshop will explore the concepts of game play and cultural identity as well as the changing relationship between gaming and interactive journalism. Speaker: Peter Mantello, Professor of New Media, Center for Advanced Media Arts Studies, Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University, Beppu, Japan Peter Mantello is an imagemaker and writer with a penchant for funky algorithms in motion and discovery.

RIAS workshop on German-American coverage of terrorism issues – a transatlantic media comparison

Peter Mantello

Hosted by RIAS Berlin Commission Wasserwerk German and American journalists will discuss how TV and the electronic media covers the issues of terrorism. What are the differences, what are the similarities? Has anything changed since Sept. 11, 2001, when a shocked U.S. asked “why do they hate us so much?” and the U.S. media promised to provide more background information on the roots and causes of terrorism? Is the German media doing enough to live up to the challenges of analyzing the reasons for this new global threat? What can the media do at home and abroad to fight terrorism and a looming global division along religious lines? Panel: David Patrician, journalist David Patrician graduated from the University of Maryland with a double degree in government and politics and German language and literature. For three years he was a radio news producer for the Voice of America with the Korean language service. Some of his assignments included being embedded with the German Bundeswehr in Afghanistan as well as hosting some special reports for WDR TV before and during the 2006 World Cup.

The empire strikes back - Is the newly-found media freedom already heading to an end? Hosted by Deutsche Welle Room FG Satellite broadcasters Al Jazeera and Al Arabiya have long been known as trailblazers of a cultural revolution in the Arab world. They were the first to offer programming that wasn’t controlled by the national censors. Over the years more and more media laws have been passed in the Arab world creating a kind of retroactive regulation. It was just this past year that Arabic information ministers expanded their control over the Arabic media and satellite broadcasters. There is currently movement in two directions: on the one hand, the control over the media has increased, and on the other hand, the content that should be regulated is being accessed on the Internet. In the areas of politics and society, the Internet continues to develop new forms of information and communication opportunities – all with unforeseen consequences. The virtual world will soon be nearly as important as the real world. The entire Internet, especially portals and communities like Wikipedia and Facebook, will continue to grow as well as being used and changed governments for their own purposes. The complexity of the Internet has lead to tools like blogging being used not only by the opposition, but also by government. Who is going to determine the content and technical standards of the World Wide Web in the future? Will the freedom of the Internet be undermined by the massive influx of money, technology and people? Can users trust the credibility and autonomy of online platforms?

Bypassing censorship through blogging? The blogosphere in Russia Hosted by n-ost Annex Compared to Western Europe, the blogosphere in Russia is vibrant and blogging there is pervasive. Authorship differs, too. Most active bloggers are intellectuals who write in the evenings what they cannot say at work during the day. The mostly statecontrolled mass media offer no outlet, so blogging is their alternative. The opportunities bloggers have – and the powerful impact they can exercise on popular opinion – are now well known by governments, too. But easy use and the low distribution costs also entail problems in Russia. Anyone and everyone can blog – can that qualify as serious reporting? Do blogs in Russia pose an adequate opportunity to bypass censorship? What impact do they have on potential political upheaval and crises? And how far is their reach?

A long-time concern of practitioners and donors alike, this template will offer a clear and concise process for evaluating the range of opportunities and challenges in producing peacebuilding programming in fragile states, providing a critical connection between integrating strategic media programming with peacebuilding planning.

into deciding what kinds of conflict-transformation undertakings they are going to launch, their discrete efforts have yet to be integrated into a unified assessment framework for determining an optimal media intervention strategy. An integrated assessment strategy that balances the social, political, cultural, and other needs of stakeholders with the needs and abilities of the media would permit a coherent set of options for achieving maximum impact.
