International Politics x Journalism Student Talk on ‘Cancel Culture’

Thursday 22 April: 6:00pm-7:00pm

Journalists have long been gatekeepers of publicity, but the rise of social media has thrust them into the spotlight. Now, journalists can be celebrities in their own right. With that fame comes the threat of being ‘cancelled’. Journalists can be attacked on social media for articles, an old tweet – or even a private email. But what does ‘cancel culture’ really mean for journalism? Should whole publications be ‘cancelled’ based on one journalist’s actions? Does where you write matter more than what you write? Should journalists be criticised for articles they wrote decades ago? And should journalists cutting their teeth who are looking to make a name for themselves be wary? Join us for a ThinkIn where we explore how ‘cancel culture’ is shaping the future of journalism.

Invited experts:

Matthew d’Ancona, Editor at Tortoise; Former Editor of the Spectator; Deputy Editor at the Sunday Telegraph and award-winning political columnist.

Nimo Omer, Reporter at Tortoise.
