>The European Media Forum is an annual event organised by the International
Media Working Group Against Racism and Xenophobia, (IMRAX), a European-wide
coalition of journalists, editors, publishers, broadcasters and media
experts dedicated to raising awareness within media and promoting the
highest standards of journalism concerned with reporting on matters of
race, tolerance and multiculturalism. It follows the presentation of the
"IFJPrize 99: A Celebration of Tolerance in Journalism" awarded to
journalists who have contributed to the promotion of tolerance in European
multicultural society.
>
>This year the meeting will focus on relations between the police and the
media in reporting crimes involving ethnic minorities and migrant groups.
The police, as often the only authoritative source, are a key element in
the assembling of information from the crime to the story. Among other
areas we will discuss the relationship between and guidelines adopted by
both the police and the media when reporting on particular cases.  As a
European organisation the speakers and participants have been selected in
order to draw on the experiences and practices of different European
countries.
>
>The Forum is in the format of a roundtable discussion with introductory
presentations from the panel before opening the discussion to the floor.
>
>The panel includes Saïd Charchira, President of the EU Migrants Forum;
Pieter Beljon, Head of Communications at the Dutch Police Selection and
Training Institute, who will comment on the current debate raging in
Holland on when it is or is not relevant to report the ethnic background of
alleged criminals; Ian Burrell, Home Affairs Correspondent of The
Independent, UK who will consider the repercussions to the practice of the
British police and media in the light of the publication of the report on
the murder of Stephen Lawrence.  Jacques Panijel, maker of the documentary
"Octobre à Paris" will give a presentation on the censorship his
documentary has suffered from in the past 40 years and the collusion
between the authorities and editors in the media to suppress the full truth
behind the events.

>The Forum is open to journalists and the general public within the limit
