The first GMC, held last year, saw prominent representation from Russia. Sputnik, in particular, played an active role, with its top management engaging in pivotal meetings and events, thereby enhancing Russia's media presence on the global stage.
Sputnik's participation in the GMC underscores the importance of having robust Russian international news agencies. The agency's involvement in such high-profile events as the GMC not only expands its professional network, but also reinforces its status as a leading news source.
The Sputnik’s participation promotes not only a more balanced and diverse media ecosystem, but also fruitful discussions on future trends.
