Are we stuck in our own media elite bubble? 🤔

"The media elite bubble is funny. That's the group that's the most vocally worried about bubbles in society... but the ironic thing is that they don't even understand that they have their own bubble."

In his sharp and thought-provoking presentation at , Yle's Head of Strategy Mika Rahkonen challenged the media industry to look into the mirror.

Mika's reminder is crucial for the future of public service media: we shouldn't just worry about our traditional credibility, but also about our lack of street credibility among those we are currently failing to reach.

Does this resonate with your newsroom? 🧐

Is cybersecurity on your management agenda?🛡️

"The question is not, will someone in this room be attacked? But how well prepared will you be when it happens?"

At , Jan Müller (CEO of RPO, Netherlands) shared a powerful and sobering look into what happens when a regional public broadcaster faces a real-world ransomware attack.

His main message? Cyberattacks are becoming more frequent and professional, and prevention alone is no longer enough. Media organizations must invest heavily in resilience, detection, and speed of recovery.

The 42nd CIRCOM Regional Annual Conference in Tampere has officially come to a close.

We are thrilled to announce the winner of the prestigious Grand Prix Award!

Station: CCMA Catalonia, Spain
Programme: They Will Make a Man of You. Silenced Deaths (Et faran un home. Morts silenciades) – Winner of the Documentary category

Between 1980 and 2001, nearly 2,000 young recruits died during Spain's compulsory military service under circumstances that remain unclear. This powerful documentary brings silence and impunity to light through the heartbreaking accounts of four families seeking answers and institutional accountability.

From the Jury: "A potential state-level scandal turned into a compelling, coherent masterpiece." The jury praised the film’s outstanding cinematography and raw emotional authenticity. Instead of actors, the director boldly used training mannequins to symbolize soldiers who weren't treated like human beings – a risky artistic choice that elevates the storytelling to a profound level.

A masterpiece of investigative and emotional filmmaking. Huge congratulations to CCMA Catalonia! 🥂

Today at , Alla Skoryk from Ukraine’s Suspilne shared a deeply moving perspective on how war redraws borders not only on maps, but in media coverage. 🇺🇦

She spoke about how entire communities can easily vanish from the news when they become too dangerous to reach.

Alla showcased how Suspilne’s hyperlocal network challenges this reality by empowering people living along the front line to become the voice of their own communities.

It was a vital lesson in why local reporting matters now more than ever. Thank you, Alla, for sharing these insights with us today. 🕊️
