New Media Landscape Now Project (2007)

Summary

In 2007, HasNa partnered with the Cyprus Neuroscience and Technology Institute on an eight month long project called New Media Landscape Now. The aim of the project was to bring journalists from both sides of Cyprus together in order to produce a stronger vision of the ideal media landscape on the island and to develop a set of politically neutral terms to be used when reporting news on the island.

The project culminated in a conference that brought 24 journalists – 12 from each side of the island – together to brainstorm and finalize a vision of the future media landscape in Cyprus. From this, the journalists developed an action plan with steps towards a feasible transformation of the existing media landscape.
