SHUSHA, Azerbaijan, July 22. “I was not planned to be around, when the first Forum was held last year here in Shusha by the Azerbaijani media community. I then told our presidential administration, employees that it will be good if we make it international next time. And it happened,” said President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev as he addressed the Shusha Global Media Forum on “New Media in the Era of the 4th Industrial Revolution”, Trend reports.

“When I was scheduled to be a keynote speaker, I decided not to use this formal way again, speeches or long speeches, something like that. I saw these kinds of discussions much better for me and I think for you also. And my last suggestion is to have this forum regularly and name it the first Shusha Global Media Forum,” the head of state added.

A Global Media Forum “New Media in Fourth Industrial Revolution Era” held, at the direction of President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev, as part of the Heydar Aliyev Year and on the occasion of the 148th anniversary of the Azerbaijan National Press brought together 150 participants from 49 countries including state news agencies from 34 countries, 12 international and media organizations. Moreover, the Forum is attended by 60 local media heads and representatives.

The Forum is scheduled to discuss critical issues of global importance in the media and information-communication fields. World’s illustrious media leaders, experts will deliberate about new tools of journalism and communications in the digital era, digital transformation, media management and sustainable media business models, consumer trends and media literacy in the new media, methods of fighting disinformation and fake news, safety of journalists and other matters.

The Non-Aligned Movement Media Platform initiative will also be put forward by the Forum.

It is the first time that the city of Shusha has brought together heads of world’s leading media, journalist organizations, media and communication experts and renowned journalists.
