CEU hosts "Read All About It: Truth in Demand," a dialogue on the future of journalism

Technology is transforming the media. Professional journalists are now challenged by 'citizen journalists' providing their own reportage and opinions online. But without journalistic ethics - editorial control and fact-checking - how can we ensure citizens get reliable news?

Hosted by CEU's Center for Media and Communications Studies, participants included:

Speakers:

Eszter Babarczy, senior researcher and associate professor, Moholy-Nagy University for Applied Arts, Budapest; cultural historian, journalist, essayist and translator

Frank Furedi, professor of sociology, University of Kent, Canterbury; author, Wasted, Politics of Fear and Where Have All the Intellectuals Gone?

Ellen Hume, Annenberg Fellow in Civic Media, Center for Media and Communication Studies, CEU, Budapest; former US journalist and media commentator

Eva Katona, freelance journalist; chief secretary, Association of Hungarian Content Providers; former editor-in-chief, Kreatív

Chair: Angus Kennedy, head of external relations, Institute of Ideas; chair, IoI Economy Forum
