Seminar will focus on following themes: Whose interests does the current trend to increase the share of infotainment or pure political entertainment in media ahead of elections serve? Do entertainment broadcasts and articles focusing on a candidate’s private life activate the electorate and/or add information that will make it easier for the citizens to find a suitable person to elect into, for instance, parliament? Or does political entertainment undermine the credibility of a candidate and contribute to overshadowing more serious matters? Moderator is Marica Lillemets, Chairperson of the Estonian Journalist Union (EAL). Working languages are Estonian/English with simultaneous translation to and from both languages.
