Stephen Balkam participating in three-day Aspen Institute Forum on Communications and Society, Aspen, Colorado
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.
