- Pan-European Forum on Media Pluralism and New Media
-
27 June 2012 Brussels, Belgium
The new media revolution seems to have overturned many old certainties. But is the technological change matched by fundamental shifts of power and influence, or will the traditional big players continue to wield vast influence? Do the new media contribute to, or undermine, a pluralistic public sphere? Do new technologies overcome bottlenecks related to traditional media - do they create new information gatekeepers? The event will offer a forum to discuss opportunities and risks for media pluralism resulting from new media. It takes place in the European Parliament and will bring together politicians, traditional and new media, academics, NGOs, judges and leaders from the music, film and book industries. Deadline for registration is 12 June.

-
(23 May 2012) More than 600 members are currently taking part in the online discussion platform which Neelie Kroes launched on 19 April in preparation for the Digital Agenda Assembly (Brussels, 21-22 June) and the forthcoming review of the Digital Agenda for Europe. The members making the most interesting contributions in each group will be invited to attend the Assembly. Highlights include, a discussion group on Ecommerce, featuring a discussion on mobile payments, addressing opportunities of Near-Field Communication and the issue of choice and competition between incumbents and new payment players. The trustmark debate explores ways to encourage citizens to buy from smaller websites or ways for providers to flag certain benefits (e.g. extended return or guarantee periods, delivery and payment options); it also addresses the issue of a stakeholders' platform on trustmarks. The VAT debate addresses the challenges of applying tax at the provider's location versus doing it at the consumer's location. If you are interested in these or other issues discussed in the platform, join and contribute to the debate.
