Recorded at INTA, Lee Davies and Gwilym Roberts speak with James Nurton about the evolution of intellectual property journalism over the past three decades. James reflects on the transition from print-led publishing to digital-first media, the changing economics of specialist journalism, and the challenges of reporting on legal and commercial developments in an era of rapid information sharing.

The conversation also explores the role of analysis and context in IP reporting, approaches to interviewing and source-building, the handling of confidential information, and notable moments from James’s career covering the global IP profession. The discussion provides insight into how IP news is gathered, interpreted and communicated to practitioners, businesses and policymakers.
