Charlie English & John Sweeney (10:45 BST)

Journalism in Peril

At a time when truth, accuracy and plain facts are under constant threat from the falsehoods pedalled by pundits, politicians and influencers on social media platforms, what is the state of journalism today?

Under threat is objective ‘routine’ reporting in local and national titles - whether on-line or in print; investigative teams uncovering national and international injustices; the integrity of war reporting and the lack of bandwidth for long-term coverage of ‘forgotten’ wars and humanitarian disasters.

Don’t miss the insights and unvarnished truth from Charlie English, former head of international news at The Guardian and John Sweeney, old school journalist and author of a biography of Alexei Navalny.

Chaired by Mure Dickie
