## JOURNALISTS' AND EXPERTS' ROUND TABLE 

Journalists’ and experts’ roundtables aims at targeting the media  by providing correspondents with first-hand information  and background details on a specific topic while offering the opportunity to discuss topics of interest with experts  (e.g. with persons of regional/national importance such as politicians, representatives of “best-practice” companies, representatives of employer or employee associations etc.). 

Journalist roundtables take place in small groups , thereby allowing 3 experts/ journalists  to examine a specific topic in depth. Holding such an event for  two to three hours  (half day) allows journalists the time to gain a greater understanding of a topic and directly question experts to ensure that they have the information they require to produce an article. 

Attendance figures and the subsequent media coverage achieved can be evaluated in order to analyse the success of this measure. 

The services marked with asterisks in the summary table below are already described in the “press conference” or “Journalist visits” chapters above.
