Highlights from TRT World Forum 2017 panel on Re-thinking Media: Responsible Reporting on Humanitarian Crises.

Media depicts day-to-day events but also produces narratives of global events. The media’s coverage of the Arab Uprisings, Turkey’s failed coup, and elections in the West show how the media increasingly transmutes itself from a conveyor to a policy-influencer. Understanding the liminal position of media and its future in an era dominated by uncertainty requires continuous scrutinisation of its very conceptual and institutional foundations.
