Parallel Session 1: 2003 Bangkok Declaration: What Next?
In May 2003, the 1st Conference of Ministers of Information and Broadcasting from Asia-Pacific was held in Bangkok to identify how public service broadcasting in the region could respond to the changing media environment. It served as a thematic debate and regional preparatory meeting for the World Summit on Information Society held in Geneva in 2003. The conference produced the 2003 Bangkok Declaration that offered recommendations to address challenges of media globalization, cultural diversity, viability of public service broadcasting, information divide and human resource development.

Have broadcasters fulfilled their mandate under the Bangkok Declaration? Where are the gaps and opportunities? What new roles, new approaches and new partners can we pursue to move the Bangkok Declaration forward?
