[Festival] IFF Weekly | Mar 26 – 30 (We're Back!)

[IFF Team]

Dear friends,

It was great seeing so many of you in Valencia! We can’t wait to hear
your thoughts on this four year, so stay tuned for our short survey :)

As we are still coming down from the cloud of the IFF, by popular
demand, today we are resuming the Weekly Newsletter.

This newsletter features updates sent by the community. If you want to
submit something for the next newsletter, please email
team at internetfreedomfestival.org.

Here are your updates for the week of March 26 – 30:

*** Center for Media at Risk Launch Conference ***

To kick off the Center for Media at Risk, the "What is Media at Risk?"
cross-disciplinary conference will bring together media practitioners,
media scholars, and media assist organizations to define what "media at
risk" means globally in circumstances of political intimidation and what
can be done to resist it. Given the proliferating nature of creeping
authoritarianism around the world, these efforts will help highlight
Penn’s mission to explain more fully what political intimidation in the
media – in documentary, journalism, entertainment, and the digital
environment – looks like worldwide.

>From 19 - 21 April at the University of Pennsylvania. Register here:
