In a media environment that is over supplied, fragmented and often polarised, how are young people in the UK navigating news? Who do they trust and what do they define as the truth?
Join the live stream of The Royal Television Society’s special event, as Channel 4 reveals the results of a landmark study into young people in Britain today.
Channel 4 CEO Alex Mahon will deliver a keynote speech discussing the insight and its impact on the UK media and creative industries, as well as exploring what might need to change so young people can better find trusted sources of news to avoid feelings of marginalisation, loneliness and unhappiness.
Following the speech, we'll dissect the learnings with an expert panel featuring;
- Ros Atkins, Analysis Editor, BBC News (Moderator)
- Mahnoor Akhlaq, Multimedia Producer, Channel 4 News
- Rachel Botsman, Leading expert and author on trust
- Oli Dugmore, Editor, JOE
