How do technological change and social networks affect the traditional press? Is journalism experiencing a credibility crisis? Is activism distorting the informative work? How do the media contribute to political polarization? What are the main threats to freedom of expression? How to counter fake news?
The media are one of the pillars of the health of democracy. However, its task is threatened by the pressures of the powers, the unstoppable avalanche of false information spread over the internet and the mistakes of its professionals.
To discuss these issues, EL MUNDO and La Lectura, its cultural magazine, have organized the meeting "Journalism in the spotlight."
Participating:
- Joaquín Manso, director of EL MUNDO
- Martin Baron, former editor of The Washington Post and TheBoston Globe, and author of Collision of Power: Trump, Bezos, and The Washington Post (forthcoming)
- Antonio Caño, former director of EL PAÍS and author of Tell the truth (The Sphere of Books)
- Maite Rico, deputy director of EL MUNDO and head of La Lectura.
The event will be held on Monday, April 17, at 6:30 p.m., at the headquarters of Unidad Editorial, Avenida de San Luis, 25, Madrid)
