The conference featured reporters who spoke about how things look "from the inside". Some correspondents had positive words to say about the authoritarian regimes in the Middle Eastern countries in which they were stationed.

Journalist Tom Gross, who attended the event, spoke with INNTV about his impression that the world media is far from objective - as he felt was clearly indicated by some of his colleagues' comments.
