Discrimination in the media manifests itself in many ways, for example in stereotypical reporting, portrayals in films and series, as well as on digital platforms such as websites and social media. Even technologies such as artificial intelligence are often biased. Stricter guidelines and laws, educational programmes to promote media literacy, the promotion of diversity in media teams and the development of algorithms to minimise bias can all help to combat discrimination in the media.
The 9th symposium on youth protection and user competence organised by the Bavarian State Agency provides a platform for discussing solutions to discrimination through digital media, gaining practical insights and highlighting positive examples in order to raise awareness and actively combat discrimination in the media.
Venue: Heinrich-Lübke-Straße 27, 81737 Munich
Free admission.
