INTERPRETATION: FR/EN

Quality journalism is key to a resilient democracy—driving pluralism, public engagement, and informed debate. But today, it’s under threat from authoritarian pressure, AI-driven manipulation, and profit models that reward division.

This session explores how to support quality journalism and reform media governance to better promote trustworthy information, inclusive participation, and stronger, more cohesive democracies.
