hi all,

Here are the clean slides of my talk this morning + the links to the
papers. Happy to chat more!

Cath, C. (2026). Cloud drift: How hyperscaler cloud computing shapes
internet governance. Information, Communication & Society, 1-20.
https://doi.org/10.1080/1369118X.2026.2645879

Ferrari Braun, A., & Cath, C. (2026). Clouded judgments: Problematizing
cloud infrastructures for news media companies. In K. A. Bedu-Addo, Y. C.
Chin, D. Kaye, & D. Tambini (Eds.), Media Regulation Handbook. Edward Elgar
Publishing. Preprint available at https://ssrn.com/abstract=6096289

The first introduces the concept of cloud drift, drawing on the SIDN/AWS
migration case to examine how hyperscaler cloud adoption reshapes the
operational autonomy of internet governance institutions.

The second looks at the cloud dependence of European news media companies
and its implications for editorial and operational independence.

I would love to hear your thoughts, and I am curious to hear what you are
working on these days.

Warm regards,

Dr. Corinne Cath
