Last Chance For Media Pluralism
The role of Community Media in Luxembourg and Europe
The challenges Luxembourgs media landscape is facing, give an outlook on future challenges for the European general public and its media actors. What does the growing diversity of languages, cultural backgrounds and living conditions mean for media institutions in search of their public? How do both representation and participation work and is media pluralism guaranteed? These questions hit Luxembourgs media landscape during a time of preoccupation with other, global crises: the decline of revenu, audience and credibility.
The conference “Last chance for media pluralism” aims to keep the discussion around Luxembourgs media landscape and the local media players focused on the greater goals. It explores the question to which extend Community Media are an important tool to encounter todays and tomorrow challenges.

New Neighbours is the most recent piece in a puzzle of European projects and efforts carried out by leading international and national media and civil society organizations to promote responsible journalism and respectful dialogue amongst all members of society. Led by the European Broadcasting Union, the 24-month project runs until the end of 2020 and has produced the third edition of the documentary film series New Neighbours, involving 9 European Public Service Broadcasters from Croatia, Germany, Czech Republic,
The Netherlands, Italy, Slovenia, Belgium, Spain, and Portugal. The films explore
real stories of new encounters between ‘locals’ and ‘newly arrived’ citizens, showing the complexities and the richness of intercultural integration processes. In the development of the series, the broadcasters cooperated with local civil society and community media organizations in order to explore creative angles and ideas.
Objectives
➤ Encourage people with diverse backgrounds to get involved in intercultural audio productions (especially women from minority groups/migrants and refugees).
➤ Discuss and test sustainable formats for multilingual programs.
➤ Produce joint programs during and after the workshop
