The Independent Newspaper: Elusive Dream or Beacon of Democracy?
Media@麻豆AV, the Centre d'茅tudes sur les m茅dias, and Le Devoir present an international conference entitled, The Independent Newspaper: Elusive Dream or Beacon of Democracy?
Being part of the 100th anniversary celebrations of the founding of the newspaper, Le Devoir, this all-day conference brings together prominent journalists and researchers from France, Sweden, Canada and the United States to reflect on the independent newspaper in the 21st century: its role, content and public, as well as its editorial structure, financing and management. In the current context of uncertainty for the printed press, what kind of position remains for the daily independent newspaper?
Edwy Plenel, former Editor-in-Chief of Le Monde, will give the keynote speech. The panelists include Jos茅e Boileau, Editor-in-Chief of Le Devoir; John Honderich, former Publisher of the Toronto Star; Karen Dunlap, President and Managing Director of the Poynter Institute; and Bernard Poulet, Editor-in-Chief of the French economics magazine, L'Expansion.
The conference is free and open to the public. (Simultaneous interpretation will be available.)
