In a letter to readers today, Wall Street Journal Editor in Chief Emma Tucker wrote about the upcoming sham trial of our colleague, WSJ reporter Evan Gershkovich, and the critical role of media organizations in reporting responsibly on the proceedings and the baseless allegations Evan faces. “To even call it a trial, however, is unfair to Evan and a continuation of this travesty of justice that already has gone on for far too long.” Read the full letter here:  #IStandWithEvan #JournalismIsNotACrime https://lnkd.in/dBRsvSsY

Last week during the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, Journal House was replete with agenda-setting conversations, with a focus on the importance of leading with purpose, emphasizing authenticity in the age of #AI, and prioritizing people over ideas or markets. The sessions took place at our new location along the Croisette, which quickly became the go-to spot among festival attendees to connect, network, recharge and grab a bite to eat at our WSJ Bistro. Thank you to all of our speakers who joined us throughout the week including Chef and Founder of World Central Kitchen José Andrés; DJ and Investor Diplo; Dow Jones CEO Almar Latour; Dow Jones CMO Sheryn Weiss; The Wall Street Journal Editor in Chief Emma Tucker; Chief Brand Officer of Microsoft Kathleen Hall; CMO of JPMorganChase Carla Zakhem-Hassan; Founder of Seven Seven Six 7️⃣7️⃣6️⃣ Alexis Ohanian Sr.; and Pinterest CEO Bill Ready. We hope to see you at our next Journal House!

Loved attending Cannes this year to share this message! At a time when we face so much disinformation, trusted news organizations like The Wall Street Journal are a very safe place for brands to launch impactful campaigns — and sophisticated ad tech is just making it safer. 

Last week was an incredible week at Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity! For me, this year wasn’t just about what I learned, but what I observed. While emerging tech and AI are on every marketer’s mind, each engagement, activation and interaction I had was authentically human, meaningful and motivating. Several of those moments took place at this year’s Journal House, which was one for the books. Expertly curated and beautifully styled, thanks to our live journalism team at Dow Jones. I continue to be blown away by the thoughtfulness that goes into every detail. Until next year!

Brand safety and the importance of supporting quality journalism were key topics at this week’s Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. At Journal House, Dow Jones CEO Almar Latour joined Vanessa Otero from Ad Fontes Media and Jeff Green from The Trade Desk to discuss how trusted publishers are providing transparent, brand-safe environments and how smart CMOs are supporting first-rate news gathering that serves the greater good.   Anchoring the conversation led by Phillipa Leighton-Jones was a new study from HarrisX - a Stagwell Inc. company, which investigates brand safety by exploring the impact of ad adjacency for advertisers working with publishers–the findings of which debunk long-held misconceptions around brand safety in news contexts and challenges advertisers to reassess their investment in “hard news.”
