for most content producers, is facing increasing disruption from AI
and connected issues, the pace of change becomes faster and media
professionals are called to constantly update and broaden their

business-as-usual a few years ago. I'm happy to contribute to DMLA

agencies - the pillars of trustworthy content for Europe and the

general content producers are mostly the same, and we need to stay
