Today at LMU we conducted our second session of our Media Future Lab where we discussed solutions to problems of journalism. This is a part of a larger project researching how Gen Z views the media in 19 countries around the world. I will be writing a chapter on Syria :))

A group of people sitting in chairs holding a discussion around big pieces of paper on the floor

A big piece of paper that reads “in an ideal world the media would be a public service for public good free from external influences and transparent democratic and community owned”, the paper is covered by smaller papers in blue, pink, and yellow colours
