This year, we examine the impact on the global entertainment and media industries of policy decisions issuing from the Trump administration; contemporary publicity rights issues confronting content producers; employment discrimination vs. free speech in the entertainment world; and the increased regulation of social media influencer endorsement and marketing deals.
