2nd Global Forum for Media Development
Athens, Greece
7-12 December 2008
In today's linked-up world where information races from one part of the globe to the other and where the process of globalisation affects all of us, a growing demand is emerging: "Quality information for All".
This is not only a demand from people who use and consume media. It is not only a demand from people who work in the media. Quality information is a necessity for all societies, whether rich or poor, whether in Europe or in Africa, in Asia or in North America, in Australia or in Latin America.
