In an increasingly polarised world, the media is being challenged like never before. The internet has made it easier than ever for information, and misinformation, to spread fast. But technology also presents big opportunities, to reach new audiences, to find innovative ways to tell stories and to access data and information that had before been out of bounds.

Come hear Professor Rasmus Nielsen, professor of political communication at Oxford University, and Meera Selva, director of journalism fellowships at the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism, talk about the big issues facing the media industry worldwide.
