Alan Rusbridger transformed the UK’s The Guardian from a progressive daily broadsheet into the world’s most visited English-language news website. Until 2015, he oversaw scoops that not only changed British society but sent shockwaves across the globe.
From the phone-hacking revelations that led to the downfall of the News of the World to the U.S. Diplomatic Cables leaked by Chelsea Manning and Wikileaks, to Edward Snowden’s disclosure of the NSA’s global surveillance operations, Rusbridger’s leadership at the paper was a testimony to the importance of the fourth estate in maintaining the health of democracy and the necessity of speaking truth to power.
The rise of populists across the globe, polarisation, and the phenomenon of “fake news" have all emerged to shake the foundations of free society and the free press. Rusbridger joins the How To Academy to reflect on the events of 2020 and what they could mean for the future of the free world.
Don’t miss this chance to hear from one of the world’s most respected and influential journalists.
