Making the Change: Mining Misinformation

The Media Majlis at Northwestern University in Qatar

Who the public listens and looks to for news has changed dramatically over the last decade. Increased awareness surrounding fake news, censorship, and bias has contributed to a breakdown in trust—in the news and in journalism as a profession. Verification of information is becoming increasingly difficult for traditional broadcasters, citizen journalist and audiences, due to the rapidly increasing volume and sources available. In this talk, we speak with Phil Rees, Director of Investigative Journalism Directorate at Al Jazeera Media Network, about his extensive career as a journalist; writing, presenting, and producing more than sixty documentaries, and winning 20 international awards. This discussion will be introduced and moderated by Banu Akdenizli, associate professor in residence at Northwestern Qatar.This program accompanies the exhibition Breaking News? how the smartphone changed journalism currently on view.
