13:30Dissecting the big challenges facing publishers, policy makers and society.Washington Hilton: Hall Cabinet
Intellectual property is a global priority for publishers. Likewise, net neutrality has sparked heated debates in the U.S. and throughout the world, and the right to be forgotten promises to become an issue across the Atlantic.
In 2015 publishers, internet giants and private citizens often find themselves engaging more and more passionately in debates around media policy, with alliances changing dramatically depending on the topic.
WAN-IFRA brings this debate to the 2015 World Newspaper Congress where legal experts, international institutions and practitioners will contribute to help clarify where we stand, and where we are headed.
