International Forum of Journalism – 5th Edition, Poitiers (France)
From November 8 to November 10, 2011.
After Lille and Strasbourg, Poitiers is hosting the three-days debates and workshops which gather every year all the actors of information and the general public.
An exhibition of editorial cartoons by Cartooning for Peace will pay tribute to the Arab Revolutions.
The question of “transparency” will be the thread of the 2011 edition. Debates will also focus on recent technological evolutions and the changes they induce in the making of information; on ethic, with a come-back on how journalists dealt with the numerous burning issues that emerged in the past few months, from Fukushima to Dominique Strauss-Kahn. The Forum will also question French Presidential candidates about their commitment on the matters of press and freedom of speech.
