Registration from 8am Monday and Tuesday.

Deidre McCarthy, Managing Director, RTE News and Current Affairs chairs a session where leading editors and senior correspondents from around the world share their views on the frontline issues facing the news industry in the next twelve months – and the challenge of interpreting different perspectives from different regions.

How should the dominant story in Europe be covered going forward, we hear from those closest to the story.

Marina Ovsyannikova burst into a live News Broadcast in March 2022 with a sign reading ‘stop the war – they’re lying to you here’. In October last year, with her young daughter, she fled for the border with the help of the director of Reporters Sans Frontieres, Christophe Deloire. Marina and Christophe will discuss the protest, the escape, the situation in Russia today and how RSF supports other journalists at risk, around the world.

Live from Moscow, Steve Rosenberg brings us up to date on the daily difficulties of covering the Russian perspective.

Steve is Russia Editor for BBC News and the BBC’s longest serving Moscow correspondent. He has lived and worked in Russia for nearly thirty years. He arrived in time to witness the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, experienced the tumultuous 1990s when Boris Yeltsin was in the Kremlin and, since 2000, has been charting Vladimir Putin’s presidency. He has reported from across the former Soviet Union and conducted many high-profile interviews, among them interviews with former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, the oligarch Roman Abramovich and the leader of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko, for which he won a Royal Television Society award.

Facing the challenge to make facts heard or seen against a background of misinformation. AFP employs 140 journalists specifically to counter this threat and Faktisk has a far smaller team but is a unique Norwegian initiative which fact checks for all the leading media companies in the country.

Lunch provides an opportunity to visit the exhibitor stands in the extensive Forum area of the Convention Centre – where there will also be workshops, to expand on the themes of News Xchange.  Details of the exhibitors and activities in the forum will be announced shortly.

The BBC News team invite you to join the launch of the Journalism Climate Commitment, a commitment to create content that reflects the whole story of climate change, informing, educating and inspiring audiences. This workshop will discuss how, through collaboration, this pledge can become an industry reality, helping and supporting journalists.

How can we prepare frontline reporters before they go to the field? Support them when they’re there – and when they come back? How can we measure the need for psychological support of frontline journalists?
