Who owns the news and why does it matter?

Descrizione

The financial challenges facing the news industry have not stopped a takeover frenzy in the last couple of years, from the Observer in London to the LA Times as well as the almost never-ending saga of the Telegraph and Spectator. It’s an issue journalists tend to deny has any impact, until their proprietors change. But what makes a good news owner and why does it matter? The panelists will offer insights into the continuing importance of online traditional news in a world increasingly dominated by social media and Elon Musk.
Moderated by Jane Martinson.
