PRAGUE MEDIA POINT is a joint project by KEYNOTE and Transitions. Our mission is to foster the media’s work for the public good by convening solution-oriented expert gatherings that bring together unique, regional perspectives and provide lasting networking experiences.
Per this year’s theme – “What’s Working” – discussions will focus on adapting or replicating successful projects and approaches in different contexts. The agenda includes 36 sessions split into four main areas addressing some of the most pressing issues of today:
ON TODAY’S NEWS AGENDA – media freedom, the COVID-19 pandemic, the climate crisis, and diversity.
GROW AND INNOVATE – self-help for news organizations in these challenging times.
SCHOLARLY INSIGHTS – presentations on current research, COVID-fueled innovations, and more.
INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM – tracking organized crime, Chinese influence, and engaging the audience in long-term investigations.

The coronavirus pandemic in Chile included an assault by fake news on social networks. The disinformation came not only from faceless bots but from the government. In this environment a variety of grassroots journalistic projects emerged, from the efforts of reporters and other media professionals working outside traditional news organizations. Through an analysis of two digital projects, ChileRegistra and FastCheck, this session explores how citizen reporters mobilized to create transparency devices that called on traditional media to react properly against disinformation. How did these new projects operate? What can be gathered from them about the Chilean media landscape? Can open data generated by civil society counter disinformation?
