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 [1] 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 [2] requested.
And if you can’t get to the workshop but are interested in the topics, you might let IP Osgoode know [2], 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.
