Vienna, November 11, AzerTAc
Austrian ‘Society’ magazine has published an article by Director General of Azerbaijan State Telegraph Agency (AzerTAc) Aslan Aslanov titled “Transformation from traditional media to the worldwide information network is inevitable”.
The article highlights development trends of advanced technologies, and looks into relations between traditional media and social networks.
“Social media and new technologies are virtually indivisible when it comes to production of multimedia reports. Infographics, video and audio materials, statistics tables, geo-economic maps are all important integral parts of a multimedia report,” the article says.
“Social networks have a serious impact on modern journalism all over the world. They continue to remain not only a source of exclusive information received from newsmakers and witnesses of events but also have a great leverage over forming audiences.”
The article also highlights the round-table addressing the role of media in societal developments organized by AzerTAc as part of the 4th Baku International Humanitarian Forum in early October.
‘Society’ magazine was founded through the merger of ‘UN Magazine’, which was established by former German Chancellor Karl Renner in 1945, and ‘Society’ magazine founded by Gertrud Tauchhammer in 1992.
