SUMMIT DAY 1- Plenary

25 MARCH- (SUNDAY)
Chairperson: Adelaida Trujillo (Colombia)

THEME: MEDIA AS A TOOL FOR GLOBAL PEACE & DEMOCRACY
The media provides a forum for assenting and dissenting voices to discourse – and for listeners and readers to reflect – and thus plays the role of midwife to promoting global peace and deepening democracy. There is consensus in the world that peace and democracy are prerequisites to development. Reconciliation and reconstruction thrive in an atmosphere of peace and participatory democracy. The culture of tolerance is implanted through dialogue. The Summit will examine how the media in specific situations promotes peace and democracy – where it is itself embedded in such values – and thereby brings about advancement in many spheres of life. The Summit will also discuss constraints placed on the media and media practitioners by governments, proprietors and others with vested interests in the exercise of their professional responsibilities and how to overcome such constraints.
