Media (C9)
UNESCO
Action Line C9 is concerned with both traditional and new media. It focuses on following thematics: freedom of expression, press freedom and legislation to guarantee the independence and plurality of the media; media development and capacity building for media professionals; media and information literacy; fostering access to information through community media; promoting gender sensitive reporting and gender equality in the media professions.
Action Line participants have explored how media production, distribution and consumption will be affected by social and market changes, including the impending switchover from analogue to digital broadcasting and the rise of online content generation by end-users.
