The agenda for the upcoming IPI 2022 World Congress is packed with speakers and sessions to inspire you whatever role you play in your newsroom or organization. It's time to start thinking about which sessions you want to attend, so this week we take a look at some of the things to have on your radar, including:
- High-profile conversations: Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and IPI Board member Maria Ressa and Google’s vice president of news, Richard Gingras, will talk about the challenges and opportunities for press freedom that lay in the intersection between technology and journalism.
- Masterclasses: Come away from the Congress with practical tools you can implement in your news organisation.
A conversation with Nobel Peace Prize laureate Maria Ressa
Press freedom suffered greatly under the autocratic regime of former Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte. Similar concerns surround newly elected President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. Independent news outlets, such as Maria Ressa’s Rappler, face a slew of trumped-up cases in courts and incessant disinformation campaigns smearing their reporting.
In the midst of this suffocating environment, tech platforms have become both the medium where repressive regimes deploy their propaganda and the front where independent media holds the line. Do platforms and search engines offer a neutral territory? And who should decide the rules of the game?
The IPI 2022 World Congress offers a unique opportunity to listen to an in-depth conversation between two of the world's most-equipped thinkers and leaders, Maria Ressa and Richard Gingras, to shed some light to these questions. (Saturday, Sept. 10 | 10:45 AM - 11:30 AM EDT)
- Maria Ressa co-founded Rappler, the top digital-only news site that is leading the fight for independent journalism in the Philippines. In October 2021, Maria was one of two journalists awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of her "efforts to safeguard freedom of expression, which is a precondition for democracy and lasting peace."
- Richard Gingras is Vice President of News at Google. In that role Gingras guides Google’s strategies in how it surfaces news on Google search, Google News, and its smart devices.
