Social media, and their business models built on extracting personal data, have tipped traditional publishing on its head.

But the disruption isn't over. Both new technologies and an evolving regulatory landscape may yet present traditional media opportunities to take back a greater slice of the pie.

Richard will explore the personal data economy of today, the disruptive potential of blockchain, and the laws enacted in the EU and proposed in Australia that could shake everything up all over again.
