Day 1 – Wednesday, 29th May, 1600 – 1730
Session 2: Dealing with Ethics: Are Existing Models Effective?
As audiences become more demanding and discriminating, broadcast organizations will need to pursue a healthier mechanism to deal with ethical complaints and violations. Existing models include state regulation, self-regulation and co-regulation. Are they still valid and effective? Are codes of ethics making sense to promote professionalism? Do we need a more robust organization to enforce media ethics? Is there a role for the state in a self-regulatory system? What is a better alternative?

AMS 2013 – Parallel Session 2
Day 1 - Wednesday, 29th May, 1400 - 1530
Parallel Session 2: Media Literacy: Fulfilling Its Mandate
Initiatives on media literacy programs in order to gain critical autonomy relationship with all media in Asia-Pacific have been wanting. In some countries, media literacy in schools is subsumed in other subjects. Others emphasize acquiring production skills to help people understand, produce and negotiate meanings in a culture made up of powerful images, words and sounds. How can we promote and expand media literacy? Can we extend emphasis to other areas such as building an informed citizenship, aesthetic appreciation and expression, social advocacy, self-esteem, and consumer competence? What are some best media literacy practices?
AMS 2013 – Parallel Session 1
Day 1 - Wednesday, 29th May, 1400 - 1530
Parallel Session 1: Taking More Action for Sustainable Development: Can Media Help?
The recent United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development, more known as Rio+20 Earth Summit in 2012 has raised more concerns and expectations in dealing with an accelerating ecosystem degradation and increasing number of climate-induced extreme weather events. Compounding these problems are the global financial crisis, food and water scarcity, and volatile oil prices. As these multiple crises continue to become the dominant stories, can old and new media help build the capacity of a growing human population to live peacefully and sustainably on this planet?

AMS 2013 – Session 1
Day 1 - Tuesday 24th May 2011, 1045 - 1215
Diversity makes a society richer, offering people a kaleidoscope of art forms, religious practices, and languages. It can make a country stronger and better in dealing with the new global economy. While new communication technologies offer more choices and opportunities for cultural expression and dialogue, these have also limited access and content sources as well as concentrated ownership, thus highlighting the need for more efforts to promote cultural diversity. How do we preserve concepts of identity and social bonds within communities and cultures while promoting local cultural expression and local languages? What role can public radio and television services play to address stereotypes and prejudices? How can we improve media coverage of cultural diversity? What are some best practices?
Exciting Lineup of Pre-Summit Events at AMS 2013
AIBD is pleased to join with its partners and supporting organizations in conducting five Pre-Summit workshops to be held prior to the main Asia Media Summit 2013 in Manado, Indonesia from 26-28 May.
