The third day of the Global Media Congress in the UAE began with a workshop on Diversity and Inclusion in Digital Era: Women in the Media.

The strong influence of the development of the Internet and digital technologies on the creation and consumption of information was discussed at the event.

It was noted that in our age the center of information sources has shifted to the media space. Online media are gaining popularity rapidly. A large amount of news has come to replace the information deficit. There are creators of new channels, genres and content.

During the dialogue, it was emphasized that women take an active part in shaping public opinion on various issues of politics, economics, and social life, thereby turning into a driver of public projects.

It was noted that special attention should be paid to such questions as “What is the role of women in the development of media and communication technologies?”, “How can they influence the formation of digital media culture?”, “How can one influence the observance of ethical standards in the modern media space?”.
