"Held at Buenos Aires' open-air Ciudad Cultural Konex, the conference brings together journalists, technologists and entrepreneurs to imagine new solutions for a struggling news ecosystem. It calls itself an "immersive conference that positions itself at the intersection between the media and technology industry in an innovative, international and 'hands-on' way," but it feels more like a collaborative lab - a place where journalists can tinker, argue and prototype their way toward a more sustainable, human-centered future."
""The core mission of the conference is putting smart people together from different backgrounds to think about the main pain points that the media industry have and the opportunities that are emerging," said Blejman. Blejman acknowledges the threats - manipulation, misinformation, a decline in trust - but sees potential, too. "This is a very good moment where journalists can have superpowers," he said."
Media Party opened in Buenos Aires with a call to embrace technology rather than fear it. Technology is described as a net positive to public service missions. Journalists remain divided on artificial intelligence, with some eager to test new tools and others fearing automation will erase jobs. The event seeks a middle path of thoughtful AI use while keeping humans at the center. Held at the open-air Ciudad Cultural Konex, the gathering brings journalists, technologists and entrepreneurs to tinker, prototype and explore solutions for a struggling news ecosystem. The founder frames the mission as convening diverse experts to address media pain points, acknowledging threats like manipulation and misinformation while noting emerging potential.
