SECTIONS OF THE DIALOGUE
Practical Conference
Tell about your journalistic project to the whole world, learn about the format of the work of the foreign editorial offices and ask masters of journalism questions on topics you are interested in
As a tradition the work will start with a practical conference in the Hermitage Theater, where the participants of the Forum will hear at first hand from their colleagues, with what kind of challenges the journalism meets in different countries, and they will talk about the ways of overcoming conflicts and confrontation between the representatives of different cultures and confessions in a modern media space.
New Forum ― New Topics
Future is for the universal journalists, who are bound to create a convergent quality content.
This year we will continue our dialogue about the new formats of dialogue on digital-platforms and social media, the role of bloggers in the media space. The participants will discuss the opportunities of the modern digital platforms in the implementation of dialogue of cultures and the ways of journalistic projects' promotion in the global internet space. During the open discussion they will try to get the answers, which can help to overcome the current problems, related, for example, to fake news' extension in social media, and to determine the future ways the modern mass media are going to follow.

THE BENEFITS OF STEREOTYPES
In 2018, in the framework of web seminars held at the General Staff Building, Gleb Federov, deputy editor-in-chief of the portal Russia Beyond told how the humorous content could help to attract and maintain the audience. RB is an Internet-media, which comes out on 14 languages, and remains one of the most popular platforms about Russia abroad not least because of the self-irony of its authors. The project's team in its long reads and YouTube-videos make a play with the stereotypes about Russia, real and fake ones. That is how the facts about their motherland, which are sometimes distorted by the foreign media, are told in an easy way.

MEME AS AN ART

After being loaded to the Internet-space these images gain new meanings. A person could react on the message typing a comment, but he could also enclose a meme that will reflect metaphorically his attitude to what is happening at the very moment.
