Numerous experts from 35 countries in Asia, Africa, Caucasus, the Balkans and the Arab world debated around the theme : “How has digital development transformed the news? Has there been any improvement in the quality of news provided?” The conference was covered by eight young bloggers from Thailand, Egypt, Syria, Azerbaijan, Georgia and France.
