Highlighting the international nature of the event, the writer said: “All information professions, regardless of the country, are subject to this multiplicity of technical, economic and strategic challenges. Thus, an overview, and global exchanges can only be welcome. This is the objective of the various forums that will take place within the framework of the Global Media Congress, hosted from November 15 to 17, in Abu Dhabi.
"Dialogue between stakeholders, journalists, press groups, digital platforms, and regulatory authorities, is absolutely essential. An international framework is the only one capable of encouraging the creation of new business models, leading to strong strategic partnerships, and exploring new content distribution channels. The choice of the hub of the United Arab Emirates, home to bold initiatives in terms of Web 3.0, has a strong symbolism. Hopefully in a few days, participants in this forum will engage in such perspectives. Expectations are high.”
