The Media Policy briefing brings you this month an exhaustive overview of the various antitrust troubles that Google is facing worldwide, and their status from the point of view of news media. Also included is news about different "right to be forgotten" legal cases that could result in global delinking. Finally, we are publishing an editorial by Can Dündar, the former editor-in-chief of Cumhuriyet and the winner of our 2017 Golden Pen prize. The case that charges 17 employees of the newspaper for aiding and abetting terrorist organisations started on 24 July – ironically Press Freedom Day in Turkey.

Please note that during August, our media policy news monitoring service, including the Media Policy Blog, will be on holiday. We wish you all a relaxing break. | |
