NUJ Training Wales is delighted to bring you this special event from the NUJ’s Cardiff and South East Wales Branch.
Drawing on his work around news storytelling, community engagement and representation, award-winning investigative journalist Shirish Kulkarni will outline the difficult questions we need to start addressing, and set out a framework from which to build change.
How do we build a journalism that better reflects society, provides users with the information they need to participate, and inspires trust?
The process starts by reflecting on where journalism’s gone wrong, and the questions we never stopped to ask.
