The Media Village featured a Solomon discussion on mental health in journalism, La Maison des Journalistes‘ project supporting exiled journalists, a presentation of Twitter analytics tools developed by the Data and Web Science Lab, and BIRN BiH‘s project “The Lives behind the Fields of Death.”
Attendees were also given a behind-the-scenes virtual tour of NPR’s newsroom and studios and found out about Reporters without Borders‘ Journalism Trust Initiative (JTI).
A discussion on local news, its dynamics and challenges piqued the interest of journalists from Greece and abroad, while CNN’s chief international anchor Christiane Amanpour explored the role of media in democracy in a packed auditorium.
