Journalism, Churnalism and Media Bias: CFI UK conference
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)
