e4m-DNPA virtual roundtable: Experts to shed light on publisher-platform relationship

With deeper internet penetration, the growth of digital media is unprecedented. In a bid to shed light on the future of digital media, the opportunities that it brings and the challenges that lie ahead, exchange4media and the Digital News Publishers Association (DNPA) are organizing the second edition of the virtual roundtable conferences with international speakers. The virtual roundtable will be held on December 9, 2022 from 6 pm to 7:30 pm IST.

The second edition of the e4m-DNPA Dialogues will see experts discussing the topic: ‘Decoding the Publisher- Platform Relationship’. The speakers, who are thought leaders from various countries, senior journalists, publishers, technology leaders, legal professionals and other stakeholders, will discuss the issues involved in creating an ideal relationship between news publishers and Big Tech platforms in rebuilding the business of journalism.

The e4m-DNPA virtual dialogue will cover the requirement of a new focus on solutions. DNPA represents the digital arms of the country's top media companies working in the areas of print and television.

In a bid to maintain the quality of journalism, the publishers are seeking a level playing field between themselves and online platforms and are trying to create a more sustainable foundation for the preservation of high-quality journalism.

The DNPA Dialogues are held with an aim to find the issues and solutions, and potential publisher playbook into the essentials for news media companies. The dialogues bring together the brightest minds to create the strategies and business models to help quality journalism thrive and encourage open and unconstrained discussions, and provide a testing ground for ideas and possible new policy approaches.

The first edition of the DNPA Dialogues was held on November 25 where the best minds came together to explore the challenges the digital media faces. These roundtables are precursors to the e4m-DNPA “Future of Digital Media Summit & Awards” to be held on January 20, 2023 in New Delhi.
