Media discussion group

Press center

“An event exists if it is in the media.” Modern technologies make it possible to process greater and greater streams of information, broadcasting increasingly diverse opinions. Extensive potential choice within the media environment forms a new type of the society. But it is the real preparedness to use information as a control instrument that reveals the maturity of both the society, and the authorities, enforcing a number of limitations on both sides.

  • How can Russian media become independent “arbiters”, the respected guarantor of the observance of rules by the elites, and of limiting the reach of enforcement structures?
  • What new potential for the interaction of the authorities and the citizens emerge due to the media industry development?
  • What will be the consequences of the greater role of social networks in Russia and abroad?
