The 11th Civil Society Media Seminar, which the European Economic and Social Committee is organising in cooperation with European institutions and with the support of the Spanish Economic and Social Council, the City of Madrid and the Estonian presidency, will take place in Madrid from 23 to 24 November 2017.
Given the radical changes that the media have undergone as a result of globalisation – a process whereby everything is moving from print to digital, and the market is increasingly dominated by a small number of large transnational cooperations (technology, computing, telecommunications) – the topic we have chosen for 2017's seminar is "The role of EU civil society in a globalised world of communications".
