How to Build a Resilient News Outlet

This session will be focused on an example of building trust of the audiences in order to widen the readership and funding possibilities for investigative platforms to help the media become a champion of public interest. Specifically we will focus on work in a non-profit investigative news outlet that relies heavily on the contributions of its member community and actively collaborates with other news outlets and civil society organizations. www.praguemediapoint.com/program-2020

Elite Capture and Media as a Tool of Chinese Propaganda

The propaganda of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has not relented during the COVID-19 pandemic. It has grown even stronger and more aggressive. This session will cover how this propaganda mechanism works and its main narratives. You also will learn from a Czech award-winning investigation of Chinese pressure on the media and academia as part of an overall strategy to capture elites and cultivate a corrupt environment in Czechia. Why is China and its strategic influence so important? What should you know when working with sources about China? How precisely does China/CCP try to exert its influence in Czechia? Answers to these questions will be provided by Kateřina Procházková of the sinopsis.cz project and Lukáš Valášek of Aktuálně.cz. www.praguemediapoint.com/program-2020
