The main aim of this event was to bring international attention to the necessity of media freedom, covering topics such as protection and prosecution, media trust and countering misinformation. To contribute to this invaluable discussion, we were tasked with hosting interactive panel discussions regarding freedom of speech, which tied in perfectly with our dedication to demonstrating that there are two sides to every story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.commonsenseplus.tcsnetwork.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-12-10-at-14.21.32-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5953\" width=\"665\" height=\"499\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.commonsenseplus.tcsnetwork.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-12-10-at-14.21.32-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.commonsenseplus.tcsnetwork.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-12-10-at-14.21.32-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.commonsenseplus.tcsnetwork.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-12-10-at-14.21.32-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.commonsenseplus.tcsnetwork.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-12-10-at-14.21.32-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.commonsenseplus.tcsnetwork.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-12-10-at-14.21.32.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 665px) 100vw, 665px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our Idea<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We decided to have a panel event featuring a round-table discussion, featuring both Common Sense members and external guests. Over the course of each session, we covered the contrasts between traditional media and social media, the need for data protection, combatting hate and extremism online as well as a range of other complex issues. Adopting a solutions-based approach, we ensured that each discussion would allow our attendees not just to learn about the nature of these issues but also to have some idea of how they could play a part in a better future where some of these problems in the media have been solved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our Outcome<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Our sessions were very well received with over 100 participants over our two days of work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>98% of attendees found the discussions <strong>informative<\/strong><\/p><p>60% picked out the discussions as their <strong>personal highlight of the conference<\/strong><\/p><cite>Feedback from the discussion attendees<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.commonsenseplus.tcsnetwork.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-12-10-at-14.21.33-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5954\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.commonsenseplus.tcsnetwork.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-12-10-at-14.21.33-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.commonsenseplus.tcsnetwork.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-12-10-at-14.21.33-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.commonsenseplus.tcsnetwork.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-12-10-at-14.21.33-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.commonsenseplus.tcsnetwork.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-12-10-at-14.21.33-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.commonsenseplus.tcsnetwork.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-12-10-at-14.21.33.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As part of this two-day international event, we ran a series of engaging panel discussions bringing together various perspectives on various modern media issues.
