THE GRESHAM SPECIAL LECTURE 2017

An economic model for news that has existed for 200 years or more is disappearing. Are we facing the prospect of societies without 'news' as previously understood? And why does it matter?

Alan Rusbridger is a British journalist, Principal of Lady Margaret Hall Oxford, and the former editor-in-chief of The Guardian.

The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/a-world-without-news
