Following the recent European elections and the upcoming European Commission, how can the media sector adapt? What role can media professionals play in supporting Eastern Europe media? What will policymakers implement during the future 2024-2029 mandate? Europe MédiaLab, in collaboration with its consortium partners in Stars4Media NEWS, presents Stars4Media Day, hosted at the emblematic Résidence Palace. This conference is the key event to discuss the future of the news media sector.
In the continuity of Stars4Media March conference, the event will bring together the Stars4Media community, media associations, policymakers, and other media and tech industry professionals.
The sessions will feature panel discussions covering crucial topics such as the development of an industrial policy for the news media sector, practical applications of AI and innovation, and the challenges of disinformation, particularly in Eastern Europe, showcasing a practical solution: Maison du MédiaLab, the Brussels democracy infrastructure soon to be the home of 6 Eastern Europe correspondents.
Fostering collaboration, innovation, and addressing pressing issues like cross-border media consolidation and diversity of the news media sector, Stars4Media Day aims to empower media professionals and pave the way for an European industrial policy tailored to the needs of the news media sector. This event builds upon Stars4Media's successful transformation projects and aligns with the EU's efforts to rebalance the digital ecosystem, empower media professionals, and combat disinformation.
