These are the people who will speak:

• David Ardia, associate professor in the UNC School of Law and co-director of the UNC Center for Media Law and Policy.
• Susan King, dean of the UNC School of Media and Journalism.
• Cathy Packer, W. Horace Carter Distinguished Professor in the UNC School of Media and Journalism and co-director of the UNC Center for Media Law and Policy.
