中德媒体研讨会
Introduction
The often one-sided and biased China-reporting in Germany and reporting on Germany in China is an indicator for the necessity of intensive and rational dialog. In cooperation with one of China's largest news papers, Global Times, the Robert Bosch Stiftung invites prominent media professionals and editorsin-chief from both China and Germany to discuss the challenges and responsibilities of international news reporting. The talks, which take place for the second time since 2010, are under the motto "The Future of Sino-European Relations" and combine relevant and contemporary problems of economic development and crises with larger looming questions of mutual perception and mutual media coverage.
Editors discuss world economic crisis, China and Europe of 2020
The talks take place in Berlin from 17 to 18 May, 2011. On 19 May participants of the media forum are invited to participate in selected cultural activities and a sight seeing tour around Berlin. German President Christian Wulff will be available for an exclusive meeting and discussion on the outcome of the second media round table in the morning of 20 May.
