Description
In 6th Thessaloniki International Summer Academy on Media, the theme is “New Trends in Media and Journalism”. How can the crisis of the pandemic be turned into an opportunity to strengthen journalism and communication? What is the viability of news outlets in a de-centralized social media news environment? How can trust in journalism and journalists be strengthened? Will new communication methods such as artificial intelligence, augmented reality, and virtual reality simply facilitate the flow of misinformation and disinformation? What are the opportunities presented by the concept of a metaverse? How can we assure that ethical issues of equity and sustainability are being addressed?
