Grassroots for Europe webinar with Peter Jukes and Mike Galsworthy
Wed 31 Mar 2021 7:30 PM - 9:00 PM BST
Online, Zoom
Description
Our special guest speakers for this webinar are Peter Jukes, founder and executive editor of Byline Times, and Mike Galsworthy, founder of Scientists for EU and March for Change.
With much of the old--style print media caught in a downward spiral of increasingly unhinged and unquestioning support for a government and a Prime Minister for whom the truth is an alien concept, how do we navigate ourselves to reliable and balanced analyses of the world around us? How do journalists of integrity compete with those whose priority is securing clickbait and a cosy relationship for themselves with those in power, whom they are supposed to hold to account? With social media taking an ever more significant and, potentially, damaging place in our national discussion, how do we fight back and make sure that the truth gets through to the people?
Hear from Peter and Mike how Byline Times and the regional Bylines network are attempting to subvert the power of the media giants and bring high quality citizen-led journalism to the largest possible audience.
Tickets are free, but we would appreciate donations to offset the cost of hosting this and other events, as well as to give us resources to step up the grassroots campaign for Rejoin.
