‘We are living through the greatest communication revolution since Gutenberg’ declares Alan Rusbridger, ‘in which falsehood regularly seems to overwhelm truth’. In this recording of a live online talk, Rusbridger speaks about the past, present and future of the press. As a former editor of The Guardian for 20 years, having broken some of the most significant news stories of our time, he considers the forces now menacing press freedom.
Alan Rusbridger is currently Principal of Lady Margaret Hall, University of Oxford.
