The European Journalism Centre is holding an international conference on the role of the media in the financial crisis. The event gathers top journalists, politicians, social scientists, financial regulators, bankers and other experts from Europe and the USA. Together, they will seek answers to these questions and find out what lessons the crisis offers for the future of journalism. The event will be held in Brussels on 9-10 November 2009.

The conference will provide:

Analysis of why mass media failed to report effectively on the Wall Street and City shenanigans that caused the crisis, and why the few specialist reporters who saw it coming failed to get their message across.
Debate on control of financial news between journalists, academics and bankers.
Analysis of key changes in the global money business. Will there be a money paradigm shift?
Discussion on the future of journalism and financial journalism.
