(Photo by Alan Smason)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>CCJN editor Alan Smason will be included as a participant in this four-day series of panel discussions and speeches being given to approximately 100 editors, publishers, correspondents and bureau chiefs from 25 countries the world over. Opening the summit will be outgoing Israeli president Shimon Peres, who will introduce Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Netanyahu will introduce attendees to most of the members of his Cabinet to the journalists gathered there.<\/p>\n<p>Among other major leaders expected to take part in the summit will be chairman of the Jewish Agency, Natan Sharansky; minister of Diaspora Affairs Naftali Bennett; and Speaker of the Knesset Yuli Edelstein.<\/p>\n<p>Activities will include a visit to the president&#8217;s home, where journalists will be greeted personally by Peres, who will vacate his office officially in July. Israel president-elect Reuvin Rivlin will close the summit on Wednesday, June 25.<\/p>\n<p>The gathering is sponsored by the Israeli government&#8217;s Press Office, the Ministry of Jerusalem and Diaspora Affairs and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in cooperation with the Ministry of Tourism, the Jewish National Fund and the Jewish Agency. The Crescent City Jewish News, which was extended an invitation to attend, is the only regional medium representing New Orleans and Louisiana at the summit.<\/p>\n<p>The gathering is designed to bring together top Jewish media professionals and discuss some of the major topics facing Israel and the Diaspora. Among topics slated to be covered are: &#8220;The Role of Jewish Media in Maintaining Jewish Life,&#8221; &#8220;Israel\u2019s Image Problem,&#8221; &#8220;Jewish Media Coverage of Israel&#8221; and\u00a0&#8220;New Economic Models for Jewish Media.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Journalists will have an opportunity to take part in several side excursions on Tuesday. Smason will report from Gush Etzion, the Israeli settlement near the Jordan Valley from where three teenagers were recently kidnapped.<\/p>\n<p>Many of the conference activities will be broadcast live over the official website for the summit.
