Media policy is increasingly influenced by trade agreements like the World Trade Organization (WTO) and by global organizations like the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). Decisions made by government delegates at the international level, often with heavy lobbying from big media companies, have major impacts on national-level media policies. At the same time, a growing number of media policy activists are engaging in these debates, creating stronger international networks, and pushing for the globalization of domestic victories. This panel will feature media policy activists from South Africa, Brazil, Korea and the United Kingdom.
