[ecrea] ORM conference about Public authorities, print press and digital transition”: the case of small media markets in Europe?

What is the position of public authorities about the digital transition 
of print media? Do they support the transition or do they continue with 
traditional State Aids for print media- if they exist?
Does the limited area of media market on which these systems have 
implemented have an influence of this situation ?
What are the possibilities for small States to help newspapers and 
magazines challenged by international giants like Facebook and Google on 
the markets of online news and advertising?
Does the European copyright law remain relevant in the digital age to 
protect the reproduction of publications of print publishers which 
implanted on small markets?

These are the main questions raised by the Research Observatory on 
journalism and Media (ORM) of the Catholic University of Louvain. In 
this perspective, *ORM organizes an international conference “Public 
authorities, print media and digital transition”: the case of small 
media markets in Europe”. It will take place on Tuesday **May 9th 2017 
(02 PM-06:30 PM) and on Wednesday **May 10th (09:00 AM-01:00 PM).*

Media socioeconomics experts, teachers and researchers, mainly from 
Europe, will analyze the situation in Belgium, Austria, Croatia, 
Switzerland, Scotland, Denmark, Baltic countries and Quebec.

The symposium will also offer the opportunity to open the academic 
debate to European and Belgian parliamentarians and print publishers. 
They will share their views and ideas on the topic during two round 
tables (see programme below [attachment removed]).

You are, with your colleagues, invited to take part to this conference, 
which is open to everyone. The entrance is free, provided that you 
previously register
