Fall 2020 Annenberg Lecture: Mark Thompson, New York Times

Between a Rock and Hard Place: Securing the Future of Independent News

Serious independent journalism faces two existential threats: economic destruction because of the failure of so many news organizations to find an adequate response to the digital challenge; and political and cultural rejection, not just by a new generation of populist leaders but by activists and pressure groups across the ideological spectrum. Mark Thompson, the outgoing CEO of The New York Times and a former Director-General of the BBC, explores these two profoundly interconnected threats and proposes how the news business can fight back and secure its own future.
