The news we see, and the way it reaches us, shapes what we think about almost everything. This is London Real’s hub for those conversations. Brian Rose has sat down with war correspondents, investigative reporters, broadcasters, advertising leaders and media strategists to ask how stories are made, who decides what we hear and why trust in the media keeps falling. It covers journalism, advertising, online media and free speech. Every full interview is free to watch.
From CNN’s chief international anchor Christiane Amanpour and investigative reporter Nick Davies to journalist Sharyl Attkisson, Ogilvy vice chairman Rory Sutherland, media strategist Ryan Holiday, journalist Jon Ronson and broadcaster Max Keiser: how the news gets made and who it serves.
Christiane Amanpour, CNN’s chief international correspondent at the time, talks about a career spent interviewing world leaders and seeking the truth. Nick Davies, the Guardian reporter who exposed the phone-hacking scandal and brokered the paper’s deal with WikiLeaks, tells the story behind Hack Attack. Sharyl Attkisson describes her fight for honest reporting, and British broadcaster Mike Graham argues that leaders and the media misled the public. Jon Ronson explains how free online porn changed the lives of sex workers. More in News and Journalism.
Ryan Holiday, author of Trust Me, I’m Lying, explains how blogs and news sites can be manipulated by those who know how. Rory Sutherland of Ogilvy argues that human behaviour doesn’t run on objective reality, and that a weed is a flower without an advertising budget. Matt Elek, then running Vice Media in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, describes how a punk magazine became a global brand. Ivor Crotty explains RT’s rise online, and media strategist Sheeraz Hasan argues that fame is the new currency. See also Media.
Free speech is a theme Brian Rose returns to often. Dr Michael Shermer, founding publisher of Skeptic magazine, argues that liberals have stopped defending free speech. Evolutionary behavioural scientist Dr Gad Saad warns of ideas he says are killing common sense. Broadcaster Max Keiser asks whether you would rather trust your bank or bitcoin. London Real’s own film We Will Not Be Silenced tells the story of its fight for uncensored media.
