Of course, new technology and innovations are represented especially in the Journalism Research and Education stream.
The most popular of all the sections is lead by Ibrahim Saleh, University Cape Town, South Africa.
This year’s specialty is a joint-stream JRE/UNESCO on Safety of Journalism. It is chaired and monitored by Reeta Pöyhtäri from UNESCO/Paris. The action starts on Sunday 12th and ends on Thursday 16th July.
