EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 

The Media plays a central role in modern societies because they represent the primary source of information and the main provider of entertainment for large numbers of people. As a result, the media make a decisive impact on the political, economic, social and cultural activities of people and institutions. They bring about new behavioral and cultural patterns. They also help to shape individual opinion, notions and beliefs. 

 

The Social Media Summit 2011 is a response to a major demand of the general populace; the need for good governance in all types of institutions, private or public. In all countries and especially in democracies, media can play a key role in promoting good governance in the society.  

 

This Summit is aimed at helping young people in the Media attain professional standards and practices at the managerial, editorial, production and programming levels.

 

It's main objective is to bring a public recognition of Media organization’s commitment to the highest professional practices and ethics, we propose to conduct a Two (2) day Summit with media experts and other seasoned professional who will provide the right tools and support for youths in media advocacy and the use of the new media for Change in Nigeria. It is our belief that this would provide the needed mileage for Youths to reach the various segments of the Nigerian and Africa Media industry.

 

It is within this context that, TELEIOS CONSULTINGis looking to invite Student to the Social Media Summit 2011. Youth policy makers in this field will include: broadcasters, print journalists, New media technology experts and other stakeholders in the industry.

 

TELEIOS CONSULTINGwith Partner Organisations hopes that the methodology and tools developed at the summit will favor and facilitate the transformation for state/privately controlled broadcast media outlets into Youth led service broadcasting media outlets. The Social Media Summit 2011 will also highlight the role of the media in Nigeria and other African countries.

We will be moving across the Nation based on a NEED and Implametation Approach. We look forward to working with everyone !
