Greetings to the participants and guests of the 3rd Festival of New Media

The message reads, in part:

"It is gratifying that your creative and educational project brings together an ever-growing number of young professionals and renowned experts in media communications each year. Here, at the Senezh Public Management Workshop, all the conditions are in place for open and substantive discussions of the key challenges facing today's media, including online resources, social media, blogs and messaging platforms.

Naturally, as part of the Year of Unity of the Peoples of Russia, the forum will place particular emphasis on strengthening the enormous potential of the country's media to foster unity and provide public education, as well as on promoting traditional spiritual and moral values in society, particularly among young people.

I trust that the festival will take place in an atmosphere of productive and mutually beneficial communication and remain a memorable experience for all its participants.

I wish you productive work, success and all the very best."
