Panel spotlight -

Legal trends hampering media freedom

As threats to independent journalism continue to accelerate, the law is being weaponised in many countries around the globe to compromise journalists’ safety and censor their reporting.

While free and independent media are fighting the battle of their lives, legal expertise can also be used as a tool to protect them, providing defences against authoritarian or malign regimes.

Join us in London on 26 October at this year's Trust Conference - with the first day dedicated to tackling pressing media freedom and digital rights issues - to hear leading experts explore how we can use the law to protect journalists and bolster their ability to speak freely and fairly, without fear of retribution.
