"IT WILL LARGELY DEPEND upon the professionalism of journalists and their respect of ethical principles whether mass media will help to consolidate peace and find balanced and mutually acceptable ways of overcoming crisis situations or, in contrast, incite people to confrontation and violence." These were the words of Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in his opening address at the international conference "Russia-Europe: Topical Issues in Contemporary International Journalism" that took place in Paris on November 24-25, 2011.
Lavrov's address expresses the gist of the discussion that took place at the conference among heads of leading Russian and international media, directors of European institutes in the humanities, Russian and European government officials, and well-known journalists from international media.
