Attendants of a round-table conference on the mass media in the context of globalization discussed changes in the information space within the framework of the 3rd Baku International Humanitarian Forum today.
US analysts said that new media sources were also the origin of large volumes of unofficial information and some believe that a filtering system is needed. A member of the Columbia University noted that the Internet was a replacement of the real world for some children and students.
Analysts say that California has the Hollywood Exchange where people can discuss films and rate them.
But the Internet cannot be controlled and may cause events such as the protests at Turkey’s Gezi Park.
Kamal Ozturk, Director General of the Anatolia News Agency, said that the Internet resulted in over 174 papers closed in the US, 64 in England and 30 more possible closed in the future. He added that false information had been spread among 15,000 people online.
Alex Gibbow, head of the Romanian National News Agency, believes that mass media is in a global crisis where people used smartphones and Androids for information. He said that journalism must meet modern standards.
Igor Volgin, head of the Dostoyevsky Foundation, said that online grammar caused poor education. He noted that the Internet had low standards and was dominating primitive brains, comparing them with Lady Gaga.
Dauren Diyarov, Kazinform head, believes that digital technologies caused social degrade.
Shamil Veliyev, Dean of the Journalism Faculty of the BSU, expressed hope that the new generation would use the Internet wisely.
