The CMPCR Annual Public Lecture in Media and Citizenship
Stop Press! Reporting the News in 2026
This year's speaker is Natalie Fahy - Senior Editor of Nottinghamshire Live.
Speaking truth unto power is the fundamental role of journalism. Natalie will be talking about the ongoing challenges and opportunities of doing so at a time local news is being squeezed by technology, digital platforms and a changing business model.
Nottinghamshire Live has faced the particular challenges of dealing with a Reform-led County Council, plus the heartbreak of the Valdo Calocane case and the ongoing public inquiry into the handling of it.
The lecture is free to attend and is a public event.
Doors open at 5.30 and it will begin at 6pm, lasting approx 45 mins with some time for questions and a drinks reception.
