A panel of top international editors will come together to discuss the biggest issues impacting the Cannes audience.

AI is rewriting how audiences find news, the cycle refuses to slow down, and every editor is making bets that will define their brand for a decade. Adam O’Neal (Opinion Editor, The Washington Post),  Ayesha Javed (Senior Editor, TIME) and Aja Whitaker-Moore (Deputy Editor in Chief, The Wall Street Journal) take the stage for a candid conversation about what’s changing inside their newsrooms — and why the trusted, considered environments they build remain the premium context where brands earn attention they can’t buy anywhere else.

When: Monday 22nd June , 11:30am-12:00
