Speaker: Paul Ramadge, Vice-Chancellor's Professorial Fellow, Monash University
As editor-in-chief of The Age in Melbourne – one of the world's celebrated newspapers and media outlets – Paul Ramadge was in a unique position to lead and influence debates about quality and trust, the essence of the journalistic craft. Under his leadership, The Age won almost every industry award. But, as traditional media contracts, how will editorial trust be judged in the future? Who will sit in judgment? What are some options for public-interest journalism? This talk, titled "Truth, Knowledge, and Trust in the Media," will answer these pressing questions.
