A Media Forum event in conjunction with the Centre for Investigative Journalism

The war against fake news is on - but can we win it?

As an epidemic of clickbait, bias, ‘alternative facts’ and opinion-as-truth pollutes every corner of the media, it’s become more difficult to know who to trust. And if we can even trust ourselves.

Jimmy Wales, founder of Wikipedia and crowd-funded news platform WikiTribune, in conversation with James Harkin, Director of the Centre of Investigative Journalism, discusses how put the truth back into news
