SXSW, South by South West, the one massive event for all things, music, film and interactive (startups, innovation, etc…) has made the headlines for a different reason than the usual hype and noise. After cancelling two panels about harassment in the tech industry, the event organisers have faced a serious backlash and the likes of Buzzfeed and Vox even threatened to withdraw from the event.

Between the outrage and the risk to lose two prominent media (which could have created a move followed by more), SXSW have now re-instated one of the panels and are even thinking about having a forum about online harassment according to Recode.

Announcements are yet to come but it seems SXSW have successfully been bullied into accepting to speak about bullying and harassment.
