Digital Platforms v News Publishers [Chapter 2]
LES International
Copyright Licensing Committee

COPYRIGHT, MONEY & DEMOCRACY

Join us for the 2nd chapter in the LESI Copyright Licesensing Committee's series on the dynamics between digital platforms and news publishers. After Australia and Indonesia, we are focusing on North America – namely Canada and USA.

This session will explore the implications of recent legislative measures, such as Canada's Online News Act, which requires tech companies to compensate news publishers for their content. We will also delve into similar initiatives in the United States - the Journalism Competition and Preservation Act (JCPA) at Federal level, and California’s Journalism Preservation Act. They aim to empower small and local news outlets by facilitating collective bargaining with major digital platforms.

The webinar will feature a panel of distinguished speakers from interest groups and academia who will examine how these legal frameworks could reshape the media landscape. The discussion will highlight the challenges and opportunities these regulations present for media companies, digital platforms, and small businesses. Attendees will gain valuable insights into how these changes are influencing business strategies and promoting fair competition in the digital age.

This event is a must-attend for media professionals, legal experts, and anyone interested in the future of journalism in North America. Engage with our panellists during interactive Q&A sessions. Don't miss this opportunity to deepen your understanding of how legislative developments are impacting the digital media ecosystem.
