When it feels like the whole world is unstable, unpredictable, unfair and increasingly fractured, it continues to be the job of journalists to bring us the facts. 

In this timely session, The Ethics Centre’s Dr Tim Dean will be joined by Walkley-winning journalist, TV presenter and social commentator Jan Fran to explore the ethics of journalism today.    

Can journalists sustain integrity, continue to hold power to account and commit themselves to “honesty, fairness, and independence” in ever-changing and increasingly challenging circumstances? In a time where everyone is a content creator, how do journalists differ? How should journalists balance the need to attract eyeballs while avoiding sensationalism? Can public trust in journalism be restored? Is objectivity a realistic goal, or is every story pushing someone’s agenda? If journalists can’t report the facts, how else do we get them?
