Dr. Zsuzsa Csisztu
for AIPS President 2026

Accurate. Fair. Olympic athlete. Professionalism. Inclusion. Tradition. Innovation.

My AIPS program:

• Each national association is entitled to send one delegate to the annual global and continental congresses at AIPS's expense (AIPS will also cover travel costs going forward).
• For the duration of the congresses and for the days of participation in committee (Executive Committee) meetings, AIPS will pay daily allowances (per diem) to its officials and national delegates.
• In the Young Reporters Programme, we will double the number of participating countries and sports organizations, and mentors may be nominated by the national associations.
• The final judging of the AIPS Media Awards must be carried out by the AIPS Executive Committee, and the elected leadership will make the final decision, composed of the best professionals; the invited expert jury may only conduct the pre-selection, and jury members will be delegated by national associations on a rotating basis, alongside the invited professionals.
• AIPS headquarters operations should be moved from small-town isolation to one of the world's major sports capitals (e.g.: London, Lausanne, Budapest, Vienna, Abu Dhabi, or Doha).
• An AIPS delegate must be sent to every major world sporting event to work with organizers, oversee the quality and professionalism of media services, and then produce a report; these inspectors will be delegated by national associations, with AIPS covering their travel costs and paying daily allowances (per diem).

I believe:

In the digital era, attention is the new currency.
Everyone wants to be first. Everyone wants to be viral.
I believe our mission is to be accurate first, fair first, and human first.
Artificial intelligence is the tool, tasks, information.
Journalists are the voice, values and meaning.

I am convinced that AIPS must simultaneously serve as a guardian of values and as a modern, active and proactive organization that serves its members and its audience.
