Workshop on Media Suppression

By Simon Fodden

If you’re around Toronto on the morning of Tuesday, March 16, you might want to attend the Workshop on Media Suppression: Life and Livelihood that’s being presented by York University’s IP Osgoode and the Nathanson Centre on Transnational Human Rights, Crime and Security. Four panels of experts will address the following topics:

• Digital Rights Contracts
• The Thawing of Libel Chill
• The Role of Internet Giants in Totalitarian States
• Legal Recourse for the Torture, Kidnapping, and Murder of Journalists

The workshop is free of charge and is being held in Room W132 of the Schulich School of Business between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. Further information is available online. RSVP requested.

And if you can’t get to the workshop but are interested in the topics, you might let IP Osgoode know, because they’ll be video recording the event and posting the link a few days later on their website. I’m sure they’d be happy to email you to tell you when the link is up.
