RT’s International Conference: Information, messages, politics: the shape-shifting powers of today’s world.

RT aired its first broadcast on December 10, 2005. Since then, the geopolitical chessboard has been rearranged and the news media scene welcomed many new voices.

To celebrate RT’s ten-year anniversary we are bringing together the leading international experts to discuss these developments, exchange ideas and address the challenges facing the world today.

From Middle East security to the battle of media narratives, from the role of Russia on the world stage to information privacy at the time of a global terrorist threat — get ready to Question More.
