The conference "Journalisme Citoyen à l'ère numérique: Futur des Médias?", moderated by Yves Daccord, President of Le Temps, will explore the contours of this transformation, focusing on four main areas: the education of tomorrow's journalists, the place of the traditional press in a changing media landscape, the impact of artificial intelligence and new technologies on the dissemination of information, and finally, the growing role of citizen journalism.

- Nathalie Pignard-CheynelProfessor of Journalism and Digital Information at the University of Neuchâtel

- Catherine Bokonga-Fiankanaccredited senior correspondent for the UN in Geneva

- Paul-Olivier Dehayeexpert in new media technologies
