IPI TO HOLD CONGRESS IN SALZBURG IN SEPTEMBER


The International Press Institute has announced that it will be holding its World Congress and 52nd General Assembly in Salzburg, Austria from 13 to 16 September. IPI originally planned to hold the meeting in Nairobi, Kenya last May, but cancelled due to warnings about possible terrorist attacks in the country.

The congress will include panel sessions on the following topics: "Pluralism, Democracy and the Clash of Civilisations"; "SARS and the Media"; "Media in War Zones and Regions of Conflict"; "Presentation of the International News Safety Institute (INSI)"; "Analysing the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS)"; "The Oslo Accords - 10 Years On"; "Media Self-Regulation: A Press Freedom Issue"; and "The Transatlantic Rift."
