Plenary Session 3

Adapting to Social TV, What’s Best?

Social networks and peer-to-peer networks are enabling audiences to act in more demanding, better-informed and increasingly empowered ways. They are increasingly changing how broadcasters relate to their viewers and listeners. How can broadcasters leverage social media to offer audiences opportunities to participate in content generation and brand creation? How can they tap social media as a credible and reliable source of newsgathering and storytelling? How can we integrate the demands of traditional journalism for fact checking and fairness with the best of the new — immediacy, transparency, and involvement?

TV Content: Designing New Paradigms and Approaches
 
 New technologies and tools are being made available to design content and format that will attract audiences.

Are we seeing new trends in viewers’ preferences? What are their expectations? What approaches in IT production, local post-production and other critical technologies will best contribute to designing creative programs?

Parallel Session 4: National Unity, Peace Building and Media
 
Binding all the people together in one common bond, no matter what their race, caste, sub-caste, region or religion has remained elusive for many nations. Several factors account for this: poverty, unequal distribution of wealth, poor basic services, stifling political systems, regional conflicts and discrimination. Can media help in enabling people live together peacefully and identify themselves as part of a single whole? What are some gaps mainstream and alternative media can address to bring about integration, unity and peace?
