In Episode 23 of Media Intelligence Explained, Anna O’Connor and Omar Signori discuss how copyright rules differ across markets and why media intelligence companies need to be proactive, not reactive, in an AI-driven landscape. Together with Todd Murphy (FIBEP President, Infoesearch), Jon Anders Tangnes (FIBEP, VP MIBE, Opoint), and Hector Linares (Acceso), the conversation explores the Media Rights Trust Initiative, the role of healthy industry dialogue, and the practical boundaries of what we can and can’t do with AI under evolving copyright regulations. The episode also previews the upcoming FIBEP Copyright Talks and ends with a reflective question: What clarity do you need to take away from the upcoming Copyright Talks?

Media measurement is no longer about counting mentions - it’s about measuring meaning.
In Episode 22, Anna O’Connor (Newton Media) and Omar Signori (InfoJuice) talk with Damien Kopp (RebootUp), a standout voice from FIBEP WMIC 2025, about how meaning gets lost, distorted, and sometimes weaponised as information moves through today’s platforms. They unpack why counting mentions no longer explains impact, how narratives emerge and spread beyond institutional media, and why trust now travels through people and communities, not headlines. A thought-provoking conversation on narratives, perception, and the human role in making sense of AI-driven media.
