In this session,  writer and journalist Patrick Radden Keefe (celebrated author of Say Nothing and Empire of Pain), will talk with Mònica Terribas about the work of investigative journalists in a world that transformed by new information and tech.

At a time when the digital ecosystem and the financial crisis have transformed how we understand journalism, what role does investigative journalism play? What challenges and changes is the journalistic profession faced with today?

Patrick Radden Keffe, a writer for the New Yorker and winner of many awards, has become a point of reference for contemporary investigative journalism. His work follows in the footsteps of classic narrative journalism, based on an exhaustive process of documentation and a careful narrative strategy.

The publication of Say Nothing (Doubleday, 2019) is one of the best recent chronicles of the conflict in Northern Ireland, and made him one of the most celebrated non-fiction books in recent years. His latest book, based on over three years of research, is called Empire of Pain (Periscopi and Reservoir Books, 2021), and is an account of the Sackler dynasty: the owners of the pharmaceutical company that created the drug that fueled the opioid crisis in the United States. 

This talk will be held in English, with a simultaneous translation into Catalan.
