The European Policy Centre is delighted to invite you to this Policy Dialogue on the impact of new technology in the media and publishing industry.
In the last 15 years, almost 100,000 jobs have been lost in the media and publishing industry in Europe and up to 30% of media workers are now working under precarious contract conditions according to a study by the International Federation of Journalists. This drastic change is mainly due to the digitalisation of media and to changes in how news is distributed and consumed, which have disrupted the traditional business model. Against this background, the aim of this Policy Dialogue is to identify the most disruptive technologies in the media and publishing industry and how they are affecting workers’ job prospects and conditions, as well as what skills will be required in the future.
Our expert panel will share their experience and views on the evolving media industry and take part in a question and answer session, chaired by Claire Dhéret, Head of the EPC Social Europe & Well-being programme.
