EANA (The European Alliance of News Agencies) had its Autumn 2019 Conference and General Assembly in Prague, hosted by member agency CTK.

Peter Kropsch, EANA President of EANA and CEO of dpa (Germany) appreciated the event: “This was a very good conference, with a very specific subject of great importance for the news agency business, and I was happy to see the participants engaging so much with the speakers on the different topics of discussion”.

Presentation (Pdf)
Presentation of the Stars4Media Initiative EURAGORA EURAGORA is an exclusive project of EFE (Spanish news agency) and LUSA (Portuguese news agency). The operational team was constituted by three people from each agency (one editorial, one commercial&marketing, and one multimedia), supported by another 10 mentors, including the directors and the national correspondents in both countries. Team’s Both agencies decided to choose young or relatively junior professionals, with different backgrounds and skills, to lead presentation the three mini-teams. Gender equality was taken into account – in fact, there were more women than men on the lead. The multidisciplinary approach was the added value of this common project. Both agencies decided to subdivide the team in three smaller groups – one for editorial aspects, another for commercial&marketing, and a third for technical aspects. Initiative’s summary EURAGORA is a project of Iberian nature with European scope, that designed a model of cross-border virtual debates on topics of broader interest. The subject chosen for the pilot debate was “Tourism in times of covid-19”, subdivided in two topics: "Security, what do consumers expect, how do industry, governments, the European Union respond?” and "Reinvention and opportunities: sun and beach / urban and cultural / rural tourism". This choice resulted from the huge impact this pandemic is having in Tourism globally, but especially in both Spain and Portugal, as countries much dependent on that economic sector. The Spanish and Portuguese government responsible for Tourism, the European commissioner with responsibility for the Internal Market (and Tourism), Thierry Breton and the European commissioner Elisa Ferreira were speakers in the debates, among almost 20 participants, representing international organizations, European institutions, national governments, regional and local authorities, enterprises, and civil society.

Information Imbalances: Communications and The
"INFORMATION IMBALANCES": Communications and the Developing World Shashi Tharoor* A Latin American newspaper ignores a historic economic conference between the under-developed nations and the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries in order to play up the opening of a New York photographic exhibition by Caroline Kennedy. On a single day a newspaper in India devotes three times the wordage to Princess Anne's fall from a horse than it has accorded neighboring Sri Lanka Prime Minister Sirimavo Bandaranaike in a week. The South China Morning Post prints Peking-watcher stories written in Hong Kong by New York Times correspondents whose copy is cabled back after being edited in the United States. A Kuwaiti learns about political developments in Thailand from reports by a transnational' news agency based in New York. These are "information imbalances," the international media's latest cause for concern, a concept referring to the disequilibria in the structure of communication that result in the preponderance of Western, and specifically American, sources of information in the world today.

Why read this Report? … because the Black Sea matters The Black Sea region is coming into its own - but it is a contested and sometimes dangerous neighbourhood. It has undergone countless political transformations over time. And now, once again, it is becoming the subject of an intense debate. This reflects the changing dynamics of the Black Sea countries and the complex realities of their politics and conflicts, economies and societies. Geography, the interests of others and the region’s relations with the rest of the world in large part explain its resurgence. Straddling Europe and Asia, the Black Sea links north to south and east to west. Oil, gas, transport and trade routes are all crucial in explaining its increasing relevance. In the last two decades the Black Sea has changed beyond recognition. We have witnessed the transformation of the former communist societies and the impact of globalisation.

SERBIA Jovanka Matić and Dubravka Valić Nedeljković
SERBIA Jovanka Matić and Dubravka Valić Nedeljković porocilo.indb 327 20.5.2014 9:04:47 INTRODUCTION Serbia’s transition to democratic governance started in 2000. Reconstruction of the media system – aimed at developing free, independent and pluralistic media – was an important part of reform processes. After 13 years of democratisation eﬀ orts, no one can argue that a new media system has not been put in place. Th e system is pluralistic; the media are predominantly in private ownership; the legal framework includes European democratic standards; broadcasting is regulated by bodies separated from executive state power; public service broadcasters have evolved from the former state-run radio and tel- evision company which acted as a pillar of the fallen autocratic regime. However, there is no public consensus that the changes have produced more positive than negative results. Th e media sector is liberalized but this has not brought a better-in- formed public. Media freedom has been expanded but it has endangered the concept of socially responsible journalism. Among about 1200 media outlets many have neither po- litical nor economic independence. Th e only industrial segments on the rise are the enter- tainment press and cable channels featuring reality shows and entertainment. Th e level of professionalism and reputation of journalists have been drastically reduced. Th e current media system suﬀ ers from many weaknesses. Media legislation is incom- plete, inconsistent and outdated. Privatisation of state-owned media, stipulated as mandato- ry 10 years ago, is uncompleted. Th e media market is very poorly regulated resulting in dras- tically unequal conditions for state-owned and private media.
