SCLF – Summer Meeting – 17th May 2012
Hosted by Glasgow University

Competition and the media: current issues in law and economics

Rapidly evolving media markets, new modes of delivery and innovative
technologies present varied challenges for competition law. Recent cases such
as the broadcast licensing issue contested by pub landlady Ms Murphy and a
range of media mergers illustrate the legal and economic complexities of this
field. With an expert panel bringing UK and EC experience SCLF gives you the
opportunity to explore these and more.

Christopher Stothers, Arnold and Porter will comment on the Murphy licensing
case

Bojana Ignatovic, RBB Economics will consider economic issues arising in
relation to mergers and market definition in the magazine industry

Linsey McCallum, Acting Director of Information, Communication and
Media in the European Commission will update on developments at EU
level.

The discussion will be chaired by Rosa Greaves, Professor of Competition
law at Glasgow University
