The 2026 edition of Tribunes de la Presse, with IJBA as a partner, focuses on the ongoing exploration of the "Trump affair" and its global repercussions. The event will cover diverse themes such as European geopolitics with the war in Ukraine, China's assertion as a major power, tensions in the Middle East, and the impact of artificial intelligence on economic, media, and democratic power dynamics.
Several conferences are scheduled, including discussions on AI as the "new opium of the people" with Paul Dumouchel, the Arctic as a new digital "silk road" with Michaël Delaunay, and the links between sport and politics with Giovanni Infantino and Donald Trump, debated by Pierre Galy of AFP. Oil prices and image verification in the age of AI will also be central, featuring speakers like Sadek Boussena, former Algerian oil minister, and AFP journalists.
The program for Friday, December 4th, includes discussions on AI as a tool for disinformation with Sacha Altay, its impact on literature with writer Hervé Le Tellier, the race for ocean resources with Patrick Maestro, and the importance of melting glaciers with French glaciologist Heïdi Sevestre.
Media literacy workshops, such as "I Publish, I Don't Publish," "Media 7 Families Game," and "World Map of Press Freedom," will be offered to high school students, university students, and members of the Regional Youth Council at IJBA. Entry is free upon online registration.
