The Bay of Bengal Conversation Charter of Participation applies to all members of the media. If any media members are found to violate conference rules, their access may be revoked. We expect that the media will be transparent and accurate in its coverage of conference events. “The Bay of Bengal Conversation” and its hosts, “The Centre for Governance Studies,” must be fully acknowledged in all media coverage during and after the conference, including off-stage interactions with speakers and participants. Only active sessions and discussions, as well as mutually agreed-upon interviews, are expected to be covered by the media.
