Cartooning for Peace, whose president Kak (France) is a member of the Prize jury, contributes to the event by organising a round-table entitled “The digital age of cartooning: humour and satire on the World Wild Net” as part of its project “Enhancing legal support to press cartoonists in the digital age”, supported by GMDF-UNESCO and the Isocrates Foundation.
How can we build the tools and mechanisms to guarantee free and healthy expression for cartoonists, enabling them to continue to inform, promote and defend other rights?
The session deals with the new challenges and opportunities generated by the online publication of press cartoons. In particular, it will focus on the role of platforms in dealing with online violence, misinformation, censorship and their relationship with satire.
The issue of regulation and the necessary link with the responsibility of platforms and public authorities is addressed, without forgetting our individual and collective responsibility, as well as the importance of media and information literacy.
With the participation of:
Moderator: Catherine André, Vice-President of the Association of European Journalists, deputy editor-in-chief of Alternatives économiques, co-founder and director of VoxEurop
With the support of Global Media Defence Fund GMDF-UNESCO, Isocrates Foundation, French Embassy in the Philippines and in Micronesia, Stimulerings Fonds.
