3 April 2023 – Diplo and the Digital Watch (DW) Observatory are proud to announce the launch of DW Shorts – a new series of video updates on digital policy developments that matter the most for the everyday user. Every week, an expert from the DW Observatory will bring you the important details from the week’s digital policy highlights in a short video, giving viewers insights into why these developments are significant and their implications for countries, companies, and users worldwide. 

‘We’re excited to launch DW Shorts, which will give our viewers an easy and convenient way to stay informed on the latest digital policy developments,’ said Dr Jovan Kurbalija, Executive Director of Diplo, the organisation behind the Digital Watch Observatory. ‘Our expert team has worked hard to create short videos that give our viewers a comprehensive overview of what is happening in this field’. 

DW Shorts will be published  weekly on the Diplo YouTube channel and the DW Observatory. The videos will cover the main topics of that week such as data protection, cybersecurity, AI, and more. Each video will be tailored to the issues being discussed and featuring insights from experts in the field.
