1:30 pm – 2:30 pm Washington Post – Olivier Knox Meeting with Olivier Knox, Washington Post Address: 805 15th St NW, Washington, DC 20005
Our speaker will be Olivier Knox. He is in all likelihood the best journalist right now in the U.S. in terms of American politics in a global context while intersecting with the delivery of the information (news wires, twitter, etc.).
Olivier will discuss the ways journalism has changed over the course of his career – and the ways it has stayed the same. We are all becoming news wires. But we are also now competing with misinformation and disinformation in a way he had not expected when he started out.
