EBU TRAINING Assembly 2011 EBU How do Public Media remain relevant and distinctive in the digital age? How do Public 20-21 October 2011 Service Media Istanbul, Turkey
Programme Assembly
Background & Objectives
Public Media have to keep their content relevant and trustworthy in a media landscape characterized by the diversification of sources and distribution platforms, the fragmentation of audiences, mobile and immediate content delivery, as well as the recurrent budget cuts.
How can Training and Development departments be part of the solution? How can they support both management and staff when their organizations engage in the following avenues:
– The search for greater efficiency through new ways of working. – The development and implementation of marketing and branding strategies for channels and programmes. – The use of social media platforms to build new video and audio content and increase two- way communication with their public. – The re-thinking of the role of Public media journalists, including News “curation”, data journalism, mobile journalism and new forms of investigative journalism.
The Assembly will elaborate on these issues through case studies, panel discussions and work sessions in small groups.

“Small is beautiful …and can be successful too”: the small broadcaster from ARD has engaged a few years ago in an in-depth transformation to respond to these challenges. The objective is to ensure that Radio Bremen remains an independent broadcaster, and at the same time, positions itself as a modern media company with outstanding programming appealing to diverse audiences on many platforms.
