“Fanning the Flame of Tolerance: The Role of the Media”,
an Unlearning Intolerance Seminar
In this edition of the UN Chronicle E-Alert, we feature articles from past issues relevant to World Press Freedom Day, commemorated each year on 3 May, and to the theme of the third seminar in the Unlearning Intolerance educational series of the United Nations Department of Public Information (DPI): “Fanning the Flame of Tolerance: The Role of the Media”, which will be held at United Nations Headquarters in New York on 3 May 2005 from 9:50 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. in Conference Room 2.

The seminar, which will also see the release of the "Ten Stories the World Should Hear More About"—an annual list by DPI that shines a spotlight on some of the important international issues and developments that often do not get sufficient media attention—will examine ways to counter the effects of hate media and how the media can, should and, indeed, does educate people by “fanning the flame of tolerance” through reporting and confronting manifestations of intolerance around the world.
