Madrid and Brussels will host the 7th European Union, Latin America and Caribbean Editors’ Congress, the EditoRed Congress, which will take place from March 18th to 21st, 2024. The central theme of the Congress is “The quality of information and the credibility of the media, guarantees for democracy”.

 

Under this broad framework, eight thematic round tables will be held in Madrid on March 18 and 19. In Brussels, on March 20 and 21, there will be a colloquium to take stock of the European legislature that is about to end, in addition to working sessions on the elections for the European Parliament, relations between Latin America and the European Union, and business models for journalistic companies.

 

The meeting will be attended by 50 editors, editors-in-chief and directors of the most important media outlets in both continents. Their combined audiences reach 446 million people.

 

23 experts

Twenty-three speakers, Latin American and European experts will participate in the thematic panels to be held in Madrid on the topics of greatest interest for journalism and democracy.

The eight round tables will deal with:

1. Journalistic ethics and responsibility

2. Technology and the media

3. Diversity and inclusion in the media

4. Geostrategy. Disinformation and fake news in contemporary wars.

5. Where are Latin America and Europe turning politically?

6. Citizen participation and media

7. Current state of the drug trafficking business. International connections. Protection of journalists.

8. Influence of politics on media impartiality and independence.

 

Details of the 23 experts who will debate in the thematic panels can be found at this link. The panels will be moderated by editors of news media from America and Europe, all of them members of EditoRed. Also present at the meeting will be authorities such as the spokesman of the European Parliament, Jaime Duch, and Javi Lopez, president of the European Parliament Delegation to the Euro-Latin American Parliamentary Assembly.

 

In five locations

The Congress will take place in different locations. The first day of sessions in Madrid will take place at the Casa de América. On the second day, the activities will be hosted at the Senate headquarters and at the Campus of the Rey Juan Carlos University in Aranjuez.

 

In Brussels, the activities will take place at the Permanent Representation of Spain to the European Union on March 20 and at the European Parliament on March 22. All the information generated at the Congress will be shared on the website www.EditoRed.com, as well as in the nearly 50 media represented at this meeting.

 

About the Editors’ Congresses

In 2012, in Santiago de Chile, the first intercontinental congress of editors was held, which has since brought together the heads of the editorial offices of the most important media in their respective countries. But not only the challenges, but especially the key concepts to overcome them, have been shared in the meetings that followed, in Valencia-Spain (2015), Bogota-Colombia (2017), Berlin-Germany (2019) and Madrid-Spain (2021 and 2023).

 

The most recent meeting closed with a declaration in which all participants pledged to develop a permanent and coordinated work, through an organization that allows sharing experiences, problems and solutions to the challenges that journalism faces.

 

Thus was born EditoRed, the Association of Media Editors of the European Union, Latin America and the Caribbean. This non-profit organization has as its main objectives the defense of the free exercise of the journalistic profession and the contribution to improve information and understanding between the two regions.

 

The VII Congress of Media Publishers of the European Union, Latin America and the Caribbean is an event organised by Grupo Prestomedia with the support of EditoRed, the European Commission and the European Parliament, Telefónica, Iberia and the Community of Madrid, as well as the collaboration of the Rey Juan Carlos University, Turismo de Galicia and Casa de América, and with Prensamedia as editorial partner.
