For the first time, a national conference will give a respectable stage to journalists from the local media, reporters from the north and south who are not defined as "talents", photographers and important and interesting media people who have something to say and it is important to hear them. The purpose of the conference is not only to flood the problems but also to think about solutions and streamlining the work of field journalists. We are in the moment of truth for the press in Israel, so I call on all my colleagues to come to the conference because this will make a very important statement."
The conference is open to the general public, it is recommended to register in advance on the Facebook page of the Haifa Communication Conference.
