Latvian journalists, editors and media researchers will gather at Riga’s Noass art centre on Friday for the annual conference of the Latvian Journalists Association. Delfi will broadcast the event live from 1 p.m.

The conference will examine how media organizations can rebuild public trust, how platforms and algorithms shape the information environment, and how journalists can protect the boundary between professional and private life. One discussion will focus specifically on the work of newsrooms during the election period.

Four panels will address the changing relationship between media and audiences, the growing influence of social platforms, journalists’ safety and the pressure created when public work enters private life. Participants include researchers, editors and reporters from Delfi, TV3, Latvia’s public broadcaster, Re:Baltica, TVNET and other media organizations.

The program will conclude with the LŽA Journalism Excellence Awards ceremony at 6:30 p.m. The awards will honor notable Latvian journalism work and its authors.
