We Media: creating a better-informed society by collaborating with one another

The WE Media Global Forum is a conference that brings together “the trailblazers of the connected society – the thinkers, innovators, investors, executives and activists seeking to tap the potential of digital networks connecting people everywhere”, or in short “how to create a better-informed society by collaborating with one another.”

The Forum is organised by the Media Center, a division of the American Press Institute, a nonprofit think tank committed to building a better-informed society in a connected world.

Conducted at and hosted by The BBC and Reuters in London, the 2006 Forum includes a series of keynote, general and small group conversations and workgroups, as well as networking receptions and a World Café – a global “town hall” meeting with Web, satellite, television and other avenues of participation from around the world.

The Media Center runs its own blog, Morph, a global, cross-sector exploration of issues, trends, ideas and actions to build a better-informed society, and also promotes the Hypergene media blog about how citizens are changing the future of news and information.
