About The Event
The 2nd edition of the DNPA Conclave & Digital Impact Awards 2024, was hosted by the Digital News Publishers Association (DNPA) at Hotel Shangri-La in New Delhi.
The conclave served as a platform for policymakers, stakeholders, and industry insiders to engage in insightful conversations surrounding the evolving landscape of digital media, particularly in the context of AI-led transformations. One of the key highlights of the event was the powerful keynote address delivered by Rajeev Chandrasekhar, Minister of State for Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), who emphasized the need to address the asymmetry between digital news publishers and Big Tech platforms in revenue-sharing models. Minister Chandrasekhar's remarks underscored the significance of the forthcoming Digital India Act in rectifying this imbalance and fostering a more equitable digital ecosystem.
The conclave brought together international speakers, from around the globe, who shared valuable insights and perspectives on democratizing the publisher-platform relationship and navigating the challenges posed by Big Tech monopolies. The launch of the Ernst & Young (EY) report, titled 'State of Digital Media in India,' provided industry stakeholders with a comprehensive overview of the digital news media landscape and highlighted the importance of credibility in news consumption among Indian audiences.
In addition to the thought-provoking discussions, the event also featured fireside chats, panel discussions, and a gala awards night celebrating Indian digital innovators who have made significant contributions to the lives of netizens and stakeholders. Prominent corporate leaders and veteran journalists enriched the conclave with their invaluable insights, further enriching the dialogue on the future of digital media in India. The DNPA Conclave & Digital Impact Awards 2024 exemplified the spirit of collaboration and innovation within the digital media industry. As we continue to navigate the evolving digital landscape, we remain committed to fostering a dynamic and inclusive ecosystem that empowers content creators and promotes journalistic integrity.
