The Changing World of Rights Management and News

The BBC is hosting a conference to discuss with experts from the News, Legal and Technical industries all aspects of how Rights Management effects how content is ingested, created and distribution. We will be looking at what the current limitations are, what our responsibilities are as news organisations (broadcasters or agencies) and what we are doing, as an industry, to address them to improve end-to-end workflows. Are technological enhancements today enough? How does the “Digital World” affect the content we produce for use locally and/or globally?

There will be 3 moderated panel sessions with experts from within, or associated with, the News industry made up of:

  • News/Editorial
  • Legal/Business
  • Technical/System vendors

The IPTC meeting on 16 and 17 May will be held at
