Join the News/Media Alliance and the Center for Media and Digital Governance at Open Markets Institute for a conversation about the past, present, and future of AI content licensing. Armed with breaking analysis from two freshly released CMDG reports on the AI content marketplace, experts from these two organizations will lay out the state of the market today and how it can, and must, evolve to serve publishers of all sizes.
This event will be held May 20, 2026, at 2:00 PM ET.
From policy proposals to voluntary collective licensing, they’ll discuss the most promising solutions to the many challenges facing media entities, and where the industry should go from here.

- Dr. Courtney Radsch, Director of the Center for Media and Digital Governance at Open Markets Institute (formerly Center for Journalism & Liberty)
- Regan Smith, Senior Vice President & General Counsel, News/Media Alliance.
