Public Service Media Confronts New Media Behaviour

Old Media versus New MediaNew Media versus Old MediaWho needs public service media at a time when everyone can publish and become a journalist? File-sharing - good, bad or worse? Who will pay for content in the future? We investigated crossovers between public service media and new media on 11 & 12 June 2009 at Kumu Art Museum in Estonia. We also looked at media developments and discussed other important issues.

Media experts and news and programme producers from Sweden, Finland, Denmark and Estonia chose the topics. One of the highlights of the conference was a workshop with Professor Roger Wallis, who testified on behalf of the accused Internet pirates during the scandalous Pirate Bay trial this spring in Sweden. We also heared how Ericsson deals with new media behaviour.
