Journalism, Churnalism and Media Bias: CFI UK conference

     Registration is closed for this event
    How much journalism is churnalism - the uncritical regurgitation of press releases? To what extent can we trust what we read in the press about medical and other scientific discoveries? How impartial is mainstream media coverage of key political and economic issues? And just how much of tabloid news is just, well, made up?

    CFI UK and Conway Hall present

    JOURNALISM, CHURNALISM AND MEDIA BIAS

    Speakers include:

    Ben Goldacre (Guardian columnist, doctor and author)

    Michael Marshall (expert on press-release-based churnalism)

    Greg Philo (Research Director of the Glasgow University Media Group. Co-author of Bad News from Israel). Greg will be speaking about the role of the media in the production of public confusion and consent.
