If we want to understand how our society is currently changing with the increasing importance of digital media, data infrastructures and the automation of communication, probably nothing is more important than a joint critical discussion about this. And that is what the European Media Salon is meant to serve: In the tradition of the European salon as a meeting for open, intellectual exchange, it will be about discussion, partly online, partly in face-to-face meetings. At its opening, its initiators will discuss with Leopoldina Fortunati and all interested guests how such an exchange should best be organised.
