How does speed affect the quality of information published in the press? What about the quality news? What affects their value? And how is it verified?

During the next TEDxKrakówCinema we will talk about the skill of the journalist and the ethics of the profession. Together we will reflect on the condition of the mass media in the modern world. We'll also touch on blogs and embargoed news. Our guest at the May edition of TEDxKrakówCinema will be Bartosz Pilat - a journalist for Gazeta Wyborcza Kraków. We look forward to seeing you at Kino Pauza on the 2nd floor at ul.

TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. Started as a four-day conference in California 25 years ago, TED has grown to support those world-changing ideas with multiple initiatives. The annual TED Conference invites the world's leading thinkers and doers to speak for 18 minutes. Their talks are then made available, free, at TED.com.

The annual TED Conference takes place in Long Beach, California, with simulcast in Palm Springs; TEDGlobal is held each year in Oxford, UK. TED's media initiatives include TED.com, where new TEDTalks are posted daily, and the Open Translation Project, which provides subtitles and interactive transcripts as well as the ability for any TEDTalk to be translated by volunteers worldwide. TED has established the annual TED Prize.


In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDx[name], where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDx[name] event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
