What are we to make of the Leveson Report? Is the Leveson report a threat to public interest journalism? Join the Soho Skeptics and Conway Hall to debate these issues and more.
On the panel we have:
Nick Cohen – British journalist, author and political commentator. He is a columnist for The Observer, a blogger for The Spectator, and Standpoint magazine. His most recent book You Can’t Read This Book is about free speech and censorship.
Suzanne Moore – Journalist and columnist who has written for The Guardian, The Mail on Sunday, The Independent and others.
Evan Harris – Former Liberal Democrat MP and currently a prominent member of the Hacked Off campaign, which is campaigning for the implementation of the Leveson recommendations.
Natalie Fenton – Co-Director of the Goldsmiths Leverhulme Media Research Centre. She has written a number of books including “New Media, Old Media: Journalism and Democracy in the Digital Age”
The panel will be moderated by New Statesman Deputy Editor Helen Lewis – and there will be an opportunity for audience questions and participation in the second half of the debate.
Doors Open at 6:30pm for a 7:30pm start
