AGENDA AND BACKGROUND 17 SEPTEMBER 2020 NEUSTART: SHAPING THE POST-­ COVID MEDIA ORDER

Covid-19 is changing our societies, our economies and our media landscapes. Reflection on the time to come is in full swing. This is reason enough to ask what kind of media landscape we want to shape in our future democratic societies – and what we can do today to help bring about this outcome.

Dear M100 participants!

Since 2005, the M100 Sanssouci Colloquium has brought together leading journalists, academics, publishers and policymakers in order to examine the role and influence of the media in international MIKE SCHUBERT Lord Mayor of the State Capital Potsdam affairs, and to promote democracy, the freedom of expression and the freedom of the press.

The coronavirus crisis is a turning point for us too. We have elected to make a virtue of necessity. We decided early on not to cancel M100, but rather to restructure it, transferring the event’s stimulating and informal character into the digital realm.

What was until February planned as a classic Sanssouci Colloquium in the Orangery thus becomes an entirely practical example of how digital technologies can help us sustain public discourse in the era of social distancing – and perhaps even make it more constructive by supplementing it with new possibilities – instead of doing without it. Because one thing is certain: The goals of the Sanssouci Colloquium are more important than ever today. These are: to facilitate exchange, build bridges, and promote international understanding between different sectors, cultures and regions. But also between generations.

Welcoming Remarks 4 Welcoming Remarks 5 Welcoming For this, we need you! M100 is also making a valuable contribution to this goal. Remarks The federal state of Brandenburg is happy to support M100.

Thank you for being here! Ladies and gentlemen,

The coronavirus pandemic has turned our usual lives upside down.

But we have found ways to deal with it. In this exceptional situation, DR. DIETMAR WOIDKE Minister President of Brandenburg exchange and communication are in the truest sense matters of existential importance.

This of course includes the work of the media in particular. Over the recent months, it has once again been shown that we need free, independent journalism – so that in the fight against an invisible virus, the truth does not become the first casualty.

A pluralistic media society remains one of the most important corner- stones of our democracy, especially in the COVID-19 era. And in many countries of the world, this cornerstone has shown significant cracks over the past weeks. Attempts to bring social media and critical media in particular under control are spreading, especially in those coun-tries whose policies have failed to contain COVID-19. In these areas, the press needs our international solidarity.

Only if we allow critical voices, only if there is transparency, only if there is a climate of mutual cooperation in which policy measures and course corrections are adequately explained – only then will we defeat this pandemic together. For this, we need the media.

Covid-19 marks a historic turning point. The pandemic is changing our societies, our economies and our media landscapes. Reflection on the time to come, particularly with regard to the issues of sustainability and social coexistence, is in full swing. This is reason enough to ask what kind of media landscape we want to shape in our future demo- cratic societies – and what we can do today to help bring about this outcome.

As if through a magnifying glass, the Corona crisis has revealed to us the seemingly irreconcilable simultaneity of two developments that have shaped digitalization from the beginning. First, the state of emergency has demonstrated that journalists too, like our doctors, nurses and supermarket employees, are essential workers. Social media cannot serve as a substitute for professional, editorially organized journalism. Second, though the institutions producing journalism of this nature have achieved record-breaking reach, they are universally experiencing existential crisis.

Media companies worldwide are suffering from the effects of the worst recession in a century. Advertisement revenue is down, local newspapers, in particular, are at risk of going out of business. All of this is taking place against the background of digitalization, which promotes innovation and diversity, but is also producing a massive concentration of economic and media power in the hands of the U. S.-based platforms.

What’s happening at this year’s M100? 9 In many places, the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II also describing what our media landscape could look like in 2030 (best means 75 years of media freedom, and of journalism in the service of case to worst case). Building on this, we can now focus on strategic democracy. But the quality and diversity of journalistic information implications and the crucial question of what we need to do to have we have grown used to, which we now regard as cultural and demo- a positive impact on our digital future with respect to three interre- cratic normality, should by no means be taken for granted.

But it is our populists are exploiting the crisis to attack the independent press. sincere hope that the contacts we all make today, as well as the Attacks on “unpatriotic” reporting and abuses of emergency rules important insights and creative ideas that are sure to result from and laws on misinformation are endangering media freedom. today’s conversation, will prove lasting and continue to grow at the hand of your efforts. At the same time, the media are facing considerable societal pressure.

Against this background, this year’s M100 Sanssouci Colloquium takes stock of the role of journalism and its performance in the Corona crisis, but will also touch upon other timely topics such as the upcoming US elections or the debates about freedom of speech. We are primarily concerned, however, with the question of what kind of media landscapes will shape our societies in the future – and what we can do to ensure positive developments in this regard.

Our conversations have been preceded by a multi-stage process of scenario-building that began in August 2020 with a survey of the entire M100 community and has continued with our M100 Young European Journalist workshops. These activities have helped identify key factors, trends and uncertainties and they have yielded scenarios

Since 2005, the M100 Sanssouci Colloquium has been bringing together around 100 international thought leaders from media, politics, civil society and academia to discuss the role, impact and future of the media in international affairs. With its focus on our era’s trends and challenges, along with its unique atmosphere, M100 has become something much more than just a series of events. It is today a catalyst for new ideas and actions in support of media freedom and democracy, as well as a vibrant network for discussion and professional contacts that spans regions, generations and disciplines.

Journalists: Workshop 2020 The local-global nexus: Exploring new strategies for local journalism in the post-covid era

The future of the European Union also hinges on the future of its democratic public sphere. Local journalism plays a vital role in this. For even as communication increasingly transcends national media landscapes due to transnational problems such as climate change and the growing importance of Facebook, YouTube and Netflix, local journalism remains a central cornerstone of democracies.

After all, it is often through local reporting that the global becomes specific, that people learn about the concrete impact of abstract developments, that the powerful become relatable – and account- able. Today, the wide-ranging disruption of media and journalism has hit local journalism hard, causing massive economic pressures. Media diversity is shrinking, rendering reporting increasingly one-­ dimensional and under-funded.

How is Covid19 experience changing journalism? What business models are there for regional quality journalism? How can we raise awareness for the value of journalism?

Against this background, this year’s M100YEJ workshop focused on the future of journalism in a global world and aimed to produce future scenarios as well as concrete strategies for sustainable, innovative local journalism in a global world.

The M100 Young European Journalists Workshop, conducted in part- nership with the Institute for Media and Communication Policy (IfM)

M100 Young European Journalists: Workshop 2020 53 as a decentral, online event over the course of six weeks, addressed a young generation of journalists and editors between the ages of 21 and 30 from all around Europe, including the countries of the Eastern Partnership and Russia. The participants work as journalists, bloggers or scholars.

We are very much looking forward to welcoming you to our digital M100 Sanssouci Colloquium. Months into the Covid19 experience, we all are – to varying degrees – familiar with video conferencing.
