WEDNESDAY, 3 JUNE DISSECTING THE BIG CHALLENGES FACING PUBLISHERS, POLICY MAKERS & SOCIETY

Intellectual Property is a global priority for publishers. Likewise, net neutrality has sparked heated debates in the US 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 are often finding themselves engaging more and more passion-ately in debates around media policy, with alliances chang-ing dramatically depending on the topic.

WAN-IFRA brings this debate to the 2015 World News Me-dia Congress where legal experts, international institutions and practitioners will contribute to help clarify where we stand, and where we are headed.
