25 - 28 April 2012, Dublin (Ireland)


The 3rd MARS National Media Encounter – Cross-Production for Inclusive Media Coverage co-organised by CMFE and CRAOL has brought together around 30 journalists who were faced with the challenge of producing media cross-reports that include diversity and non discrimination as standard angles of media coverage. Besides the exploration of Gaelic sports – at least for non Irish European invitees – this encounter gave place to meaningful exchanges between media professionals on the most relevant approaches to “capture” diversity; on the 9 media reports, there is one which is particularly troubling… We will let you look for it when the reports will be available online.

Outputs of the encounter
Objective
To encourage, by organising national media encounters, pairings of media professionals with a view to co-produce and co-disseminate high-quality and professional written or audiovisual media reports on sports’ issues, even if not exclusively, including non-discrimination and expression of diversity as an angle of media coverage.
