A while ago, I was hired by the University of Helsinki to record podcast content at their Communication Rights in the Digital Age conference. The event featured scholars and academics from all over the world and who discussed different aspects and research work related to communication, rights and the digital world.

The conference was organized by the Helsinki Media Policy Research Group, the University of Helsinki, the ECREA Communication Law and Policy Section and the Euromedia Research Group, and supported by the IAMCR Communication Policy & Technology Section.

Below you find content that features insights from some of the conference speakers.
