Media law conference on publicity on the Internet

The focus is on these four topics:

Radio and television legislation in the digital media world
Household fees and online advertising for the SRG are among the key issues being addressed by the Federal Office of Communications (OFCOM). Carole Winistörfer presents the current status of the work. Samuel Mumenthaler highlights the legal issues in connection with political advertising. Urs Saxer reflects on the practice of broadcasting license procedures and poses the question of whether the SRG has a clear legal path on the internet.

All power to Google, Apple, Facebook and co.
Federal Data Protection Commissioner Hanspeter Thür is calling Google to account: the digital information company should ensure that privacy is protected in future. Rolf Auf der Maur explores the question of where media providers have room for negotiation with the digital communication giants. Nathalie Glaus looks at the obligation to post content on the internet.

Has a new era of show trials dawned?
Where does the legitimate interest in violent crime end, where are the boundaries that victims can draw and at what point does a trial become a show trial? Hanspeter Uster deals with these questions as Head of the Competence Center Forensics and Economic Criminology at the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts.

Media leaks and whistleblower protection
While Wikileaks was attracting global attention, key proceedings on whistleblowers were taking place in Switzerland. Editors Martin Stoll and Dominique Strebel are developing a platform for investigative journalism. Together with Simon Canonica, they identify the legal pitfalls and show ways of circumventing them with regard to the principle of publicity, whistleblower protection and media leaks.
