So where has International Media Solutions been this past month? We were out on the ground in Nida, Lithuania. On May 1st we were part of the 7th international Media BarCamp held in the Lithuanian and organized by the Swedish International Liberal Center (SILC). The aim of Media BarCamp is to discuss new online media opportunities and the latest developments in media activism, with much of it related to Belarus and to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the creation of the Belarusian domain name .BY.
Different media groups, independent journalists, and activists were encouraged to give presentations and workshops on their latest ideas. This year’s main questions to be discussed were: What Belarus web projects have survived over the years? What can and should be done [in our field] over the next 20 years, and how has advertising on local sites changed and why should we cooperate with advertising agencies?
