Seminar with Baskaran Balasingham on Digital Platforms and Journalism in Australia: Analysing the Role of Competition Law
Dear All,
On 22 July 2022, we discussed with Baskaran Balasingham (Utrecht University) the role of competition law in tackling problems of abuses of power in digital journalism in Australia.
Baskaran’s presentation shed light on the news industry and the press publishers’ relations with digital platforms before considering the difficult balance between regulation and competition law enforcement that the Australian government is trying to strike.
An inspiring discussion followed, so much so that we went way beyond the allocated time.
If you have missed it, you can watch the recordings here or here.
Baskaran’s presentation is based on a paper that he will soon publish here.
The next seminar will continue this conversation with a presentation by Prof. Rod Sims (ANU and ex Chair of ACCC) on the “Australia's News Media Bargaining Code”.
We look forward to seeing you there!
