Editors and journalists took part in the opening of the conference "Together Media. Growth" at the RUSSIA EXPO
On June 27, Pavilion No. 57 "Russia — My History" hosted the opening of the conference "Together Media. Growth". The event was held in the lecture hall of the Russian Society "Knowledge", which is the general partner of the educational program of the Exposition. The opening of the conference was attended by editors, media specialists, journalists, and media educators.
"We have long thought out a whole "bouquet" of the program in order for it to be sometimes difficult, other times interesting and funny for you. But the most important thing is that you get the best out of these events in order to share your experience with your colleagues. We have experts from different regions of Russia, they were accredited from about 70 cities in total, which underlines the popularity of the conference," said Natalia Vlasova, director of the "Together Media" conference and CEO of the ANO "New Russian Media".
Daria Yarygina, director of the Brand Aesthetic production agency and coordinator of the "Personal Brand: Positioning" track, addressed the importance of building one's own brand.
"We — people working in the media, like cobblers without boots build other people's personal brand, make them famous, recognizable and highly paid professionals, while we ourselves remain outside the story. I think we need to make a step forward and step out of the shadows by showing our skills," said Daria Yarygina.
Olga Zhilavskaya, head of the PLACE project and coordinator of the track "Media Education — Ways of Development for Media Professionals", spoke about her track, noting its popularity for modern media professionals.
"Media education is the point of growth that gives both journalists and media professionals an opportunity to develop themselves and take new career paths. We will definitely talk about what spheres future graduate students should go to work in, present practical educational cases, as well as tell about what pitfalls there are and how to successfully overcome them!" Olga Zhilavskaya stated.
