Stephen Balkam, FOSI's CEO, will be joining, among others, the Chairman of the FCC and EU Commissioner Viviane Reding, at The Aspen Institute Forum on Communications and Society: Addressing issues of media & values in today's rapidly changing digital environment.

The Forum on Communications and Society (FOCAS) is a forum for ongoing dialogue to explore the societal impact of the digital revolution and to develop strategies for how the new communications and information technologies can be employed for the greater benefit of everyone in society. FOCAS seeks to do this, first by taking a critical look at how advances in these fields will impact traditional democratic values and institutions, and then by asking what policies the private and public sectors should pursue, individually and collectively, to foster a better and more democratic society.

The forum will focus on how industry leaders are addressing issues of media and values in today's rapidly changing digital environment. For the first time ever, FOCAS is opening and expanding its format to allow audience members to observe and participate in civil dialogue that moves. The forum will also include three interactive roundables.
