“The Fellowship led to the publication of my paper on the resurgence of tuberculosis by the Royal College of Physicians (Edinburgh) – its first major publication by a lay author in 300 years – which was distributed to the WHO by the International Union against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease.”

News of the World? The Future of International Broadcasting

June 16 17:00 - 19:00

(Thomson Reuters, South Colonnade, Canary Wharf )

A discussion chaired by Timothy Garton Ash including:

  • Christine Ockrent, COO, Audiovisuel Extérieure de la France
  • Richard Sambrook, Director, Global News, BBC
  • Tian Wei, Anchor for domestic and international events, CCTV
  • Ben Rayner, Executive Producer, Al Jazeera English

More and more broadcasters are battling for attention in the ever more crowded market for world news. What are their aims and how do they appeal to a global audience? How are they responding to the challenges posed by new players and increasingly polarised perspectives? How do you reconcile supposedly universal news values with the projection of an individual nation’s ‘soft power’?
