In the face of growing social tensions and intensified migration processes, the role of media in shaping public opinion has become increasingly significant. The discussion titled “The Challenges of Reliable Journalism: How to Write and Talk About Migrations?” offers a platform for the exchange of knowledge and experience among representatives of journalistic, academic, and civil society communities.
The aim of the meeting is to foster a deeper reflection on the standards of reliable journalism in the context of reporting on migration-related topics. Participants will have the opportunity to explore challenges such as:
- maintaining objectivity and accuracy in media coverage,

- building audience trust in times of information crisis.
