The way reporters get their story has change dramatically in the last decade. Has the impact of twitter rewritten all the rules? Has it changed journalism for better or worse? Its immediacy gives us first person accounts on the spot, but what about checking the facts? Has fake news shaken our belief in what is being reported? Join our speakers Christina Lamb, award winning journalist from The Sunday Times and political commentator Sultan Al Qassemi to discuss reporting stories in these changed, strange times. Moderated by Julia Wheeler.
