Tayseer Allouni, Al Jazeera's correspondent in Spain, will have a special presence via satellite link contributing to a panel on war reporting.
Sessions in this year's Forum will explore the growing influence of politics on media and vice versa, media credibility in times of conflict, the role of media in building bridges or walls, and case studies from the Middle East and Africa on the practical aspects of 'in-depth journalism'.
