At Home With Jon Snow

In conversation with Matthew Stadlen

What does it mean to be one of the most trusted faces in all of broadcasting in the age of fake news and global quarantine? The iconic broadcaster reveals all in this free livestream.

For more than thirty years Jon Snow has spoken truth to power as the face of Channel 4 news.

From challenging Alastair Campbell impromptu on the dodgy dossier to documenting war crimes in Sri Lanka’s killing fields, his principle, integrity and courage have earned him innumerable awards and a reputation that few of his peers can match.

In this free livestreamed conversation with fellow broadcaster Matthew Stadlen, he will share his insights into the responsibilities and challenges of making the news in the turbulence of 2020.

How do you break stories of global and urgent importance from your own home? How will the already fragmenting media landscape be changed by the global pandemic? Will journalists be able to regain high levels of public trust? Join us as we explore all these questions and more with the most distinguished and respected British newscaster of our age.

This talk takes place at 3:00pm British Summer Time.
