Truth and Reality in a Hyper-Connected World
- Synopsis
- Katharine Viner (editor-in-chief at The Guardian) delivers the second Women of Achievement Lecture. Drawing on recent high profile news stories (including allegations about what David Cameron may or may not have done to a pig’s head while at university), Viner explores how the idea of what is ‘true’ is becoming flexible in the modern era of journalism: and the worrying implications of what Zygmunt Bauman refers to as ‘liquid modernity’.
