The EJC is organizing an international conference in Brussels about the financial crisis. The conference seeks to review and analyze the wider relationship between the media and current financial and economic developments.

It will bring together financial journalists, politicians, financial regulators, fund managers, ratings agencies, financial PR firms, consumer groups and media watch organisations to discuss where journalism failed in the years preceding the crisis. What is it about the modern news process that enabled the failure? Where do responsibilities lie in terms of market watchdogs and policy-makers? How did the news coverage of the unfolding crisis affect the development of the story? And so on. The event will also try and get some insight in to how those within the financial and business community view and use the media.

There is a registration fee of Euro 150 to cover some practical expenses.
Attendees are responsible for their own travel and accommodation arrangements.
