Event Details
And that, so they tell us, is the end of the news. We won’t be buying newspapers any more to learn what’s happening in the world because we can get that information at no cost on the net, and without having to trek to the newsagent. We won’t be hearing from serious journalists any more: how can they earn a living if any old blogger can lift their expensively-crafted articles and post them on his own site? In any case we’ll lose the habit of reading the news, since it will no longer come packaged with all the gossipy, sexy bits in newspapers that compensate for the hard graft of slogging through current affairs. And as we never had to pay the full cost of serious news stories in the first place – these having been subsidised by advertising in the gossipy, sexy bits – there won’t be enough of us prepared to pay the full economic cost of news gathering in the future. That’s the story from the Jeremiahs of journalism. But are they right? Aren’t we too culturally attached to the news, the newspaper and to serious journalism to let them die that easily?
Doors open at 6:00 pm. The debate starts at 6:45 pm and finishes at 8:30 pm.
If you want to book regular tickets, these are available on our website. Book now.
The event is also being live-streamed on our website. More information.
