Media Summit 2026, which included our TV, Radio and Digital Assemblies, took place on 22-23 April in Sofia, Bulgaria, co-hosted by BNR and BNT. More than 150 participants from 37 countries attended this year’s edition.
The Summit focused on two critical themes. The first was crisis preparedness, which has become a key strategic priority for the EBU, and the second theme was the evolving meaning of ‘live broadcast’.
The Summit was officially opened with a speech by President of Bulgaria, Iliana Iotova, and featured a keynote from award-winning investigative journalist and geopolitical and technology expert Tom Van de Weghe. He spoke about how public service media can strengthen resilience and remain trusted sources at a time when geopolitical tensions are reshaping global narratives.
Huge thanks to BNR and BNT for graciously hosting this year’s Media Summit in Sofia.
