We have extended the deadline for papers for Regulating Digital Media in 
the Global South: What Are the Challenges?

This two-day international conference, organised by the University of 
Westminster’s Communication and Media Research Institute (CAMRI), brings 
together media academics, media regulators, policy makers and civil 
society groups to discuss and debate the key challenges facing countries 
of the global South in regulating digital media in the age of the 
Internet. The conference will focus on how media regulators, civil 
society groups, and other public stakeholders can come together to 
tackle the complexities of digitalization.

The conference will include keynotes by media regulators and academics, 
plenaries, round tables and workshops led by experts in media regulation.
