OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Join the Oxford Internet Institute for a conversation with NGO Free Press Unlimited on how the digital age and new technologies impact global freedom of the press. In the age of the Internet, open access to the web is necessary for the protection of information integrity and the safeguarding of democracy. While modern technology enables broader access to the media, new threats like misinformation, digital censorship and online surveillance create hostile environments for journalists and newsgatherers.
The panel will be moderated in-person by Lidewij van Vliet, FPU’s Development Officer, and Mia Speier, OII student and FPU’s UK Ambassador. Panelists will join virtually, and include: – Maryia Soudouskaya-Komlach, FPU’s Director of Free Press for Eastern Europe and a Non-Resident Fellow at the Center for European Policy Analysis – Tom Keunen, FPU’s Head of Security – Flora Shulte Nordholt, FPU’s Policy and Advocacy Officer focused on legal, digital and gender-based threats to journalists.
