| Duration | : | 10:30 – 12:30 |
| Extra Info | : | Having spent more than half a century in the unquiet corners of the world, Martin Bell will talk about his experience as a war journalist seeing ‘armed conflicts’ as a human tragedy and soldiers as victims. As the first ‘embed’, in military formations, he is questioning whether ‘embedding ’serves it purpose. He will talk about truth and falsehood in journalism, reveal some appalling fabrications in the field of war reporting and of the dangerous disregard of the lessons of history and of the attempts to establish a system of international justice. He will argue that, for a number of reasons, including the feverishness of rolling news, the celebrity distortion of the news agenda and the hazards of the post 9/11 world, news as we have hitherto known have died and been laid to rest. |
