Robyn Curnow to Headline DMLA’s 30th Annual Conference
In an era of deepfakes, AI-generated media, and politicized narratives, the integrity of journalism is under greater pressure than ever. How do we safeguard truth and rebuild trust in an information ecosystem overwhelmed by disinformation?
This October, the International Digital Media Licensing Conference will feature an unforgettable keynote by Robyn Curnow — veteran international journalist, former CNN anchor, and host of the critically acclaimed podcast Searching for America.
With a career spanning global conflict zones, breaking news desks, and interviews with world leaders, Robyn brings a powerful perspective on how journalism must evolve to meet today’s challenges. In her keynote, she’ll explore:
The future of journalism in the age of AI
The power of transparency and ethics in restoring public confidence
What it takes to protect editorial integrity and media accountability
As the media licensing industry confronts the blurred lines between fact and fabrication, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.
Join us at the IDMLC 2025 in Atlanta, Oct. 20–22, and be part of the dialogue shaping the future of trustworthy media.
