Online Event: The Broken Internet Symposium

1) Media Convergence Impact:
-The transition to digital infrastructure disrupts the equilibrium between media production costs and potential revenue
-Small media outlets are dying
-This diminishes pluralism of information and limits access to a diversity of views
2) Digital Infrastructure
-Unfair competition from digital platforms
-Forces all media to use the same digital information grids
-Empowers monopolies that only serve the few
-And violates privacy and copyrights
3) Policy Catch 22
-Digital empires prevail
-Where advertising algorithms distort information and reality
-Creating deceptive information bubbles
-Resulting in irrational collective decisions
