The first event I co-hosted in the ARC with my CREATe colleagues explored how journalists navigate the perils of starvation and silencing online.
Practitioners and researchers addressed the contentious relationship between news publishers and online platforms, which is being renegotiated in multiple jurisdictions, from Australia to the EU, and across diverse areas of law, from copyright to media regulation. Along the economic dimension, we asked whether journalists benefitted from legally-mandated bargaining, platforms’ funding initiatives, or their dedicated news products. Along the expressive dimension, we explored responses to both online hate and over-zealous moderation.
