Canberra event: Public interest journalism and its digital future

Organised by the Public Interest Journalism Foundation, as part of the New News public events program, Public interest journalism and its digital future is a public event in Canberra on the evening of 29 May.

I’m taking part in the discussion, alongside Mr Denmore and Professor Matthew Ricketson.
