Future of Journalism – Ep 15 – Dr Julie Posetti
Description
Two journalists were awarded the #NobelPeacePrize in October, for what the Committee called their courageous work standing up for the craft in a world in which democracy and freedom of the press face increasingly adverse conditions.
Now, you might say “So what?” Why give the award to Maria Ressa in the Philippines and Dmitry Muratov in Russia, and that it would be better going to, for instance, the people who discovered the vaccines for COVID, or one of the champions of climate change? Here Dr. Julie Posetti argues the case for journalism. Based in Oxford, she is the Global Director of Research at the Washington based International Centre for Journalists.
