About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today I'm thrilled to be speaking with [Guest Name], an expert in media law and the course director for the Executive Certificate in Media and Society Law. Can you tell us a bit about your personal experiences that led you to this field? GUEST: Absolutely, I've always been fascinated by the intersection of media and law, especially given the rapid changes in technology. My background is in journalism, but I found myself drawn to understanding the legal frameworks governing media practices. HOST: That's fascinating. Could you share some current industry trends relevant to this course? GUEST: Of course. One trend is the increasing importance of data protection and privacy laws, as media organizations collect and use more personal data than ever before. Also, the debate around freedom of expression and online harm is becoming increasingly complex. HOST: Those sound like critical issues. Now, what are some challenges faced in teaching or learning this subject? GUEST: The biggest challenge is keeping up with the ever-evolving legal landscape. New cases and regulations emerge constantly, so staying current is crucial. Additionally, making abstract legal concepts accessible to non-lawyers can be challenging but rewarding. HOST: That's a valuable insight. Looking forward, what do you think the future holds for media law and society? GUEST: I believe we'll see more regulation around tech companies and their responsibilities regarding content moderation. Also, there will likely be increased focus on the ethical implications of artificial intelligence and machine learning in media. HOST: Thank you for sharing your thoughts and insights on the Executive Certificate in Media and Society Law. We're excited to see how this field evolves and the impact it will have on society.
