Disrupted creativity: Cultural sustainability in peril

Sustainability markets naturally implies a major environmental dimension. It also includes cultural sustainability, and in particular the creation, dissemination and availability of Socially Responsible News (SRN) and of literary and artistic creations that contribute to human progress. This chapter examines the situation of current markets for SRN and literary and artistic productions, and in particular the disruption caused by the shift to a few major digital platforms, and suggests reforms to one important policy level: copyright, including a possible overhaul of the norms contained in the most important copyright treaty, the Berne Convention, which was last revised on substance in 1967.
