Hacked Off?
Attendance is free and open to all, but only a few tickets remain. Those wishing to attend should register and print their tickets here.
The panel will consist of former Deputy Editor of the Financial Times and Cardiff professor Ian Hargreaves, Plaid Cymru Media Spokesperson Bethan Jenkins AM, Director of the Media Standards Trust and Hacked Off campaign Martin Moore, Western Mail Chief Reporter Martin Shipton, and Online Sub Editor of the Independent Rob Williams.
Hacked Off has been organised by Co-ordinating Committee for Media Reform (CCMR), which was set up in the wake of the phone hacking scandal to co-ordinate the work of advocacy groups and campaigners trying to protect the public interest.
The School of Journalism, Media and Cultural Studies will discuss the future of the press at an open debate this Thursday
Hacked Off? Reform, Regulation, Democracy and the Press will examine the recent media scandals which have made journalists one of the least trusted professions in theUK.
The debate will ask where the public, Government and the press itself now stand, looking in particular at the ongoing Leveson Inquiry and what it will mean for future press regulation.
The panel includes Online Sub Editor of the Independent Rob Williams, who said, “There has been a lot of talk about Leveson, the News of the World and phone hacking, but not much discussion in a wider space from ordinary folk.
“It is right that journalism students take an interest in the industry; whatever is discussed, is debated, will lead to further regulation, whether that be internal or external.”
