Many topics were raised such as the opportunities and cautions of going online, the new audiences and new usage of the radio in the digital age, the new economic models of the media online and the making of an Internet law.
Considering the constant development and deployment of the Internet, this event allowed participants to discuss the regional trends, limitations and possibilities of the online media and to talk about their perspectives in Southeast Asia.
Initiated in 2011, the 4M Forum aims to encourage feedback and innovation and provide an opportunity for networking players of often distant professional origins. This platform is an opportunity to gather the social media players of the region and to interact with traditional broadcasters.
