A plea for craftsmanship in journalism

Debates

Saturday 10 March 2012 - Afternoon, during Mind the Book

In Dutch

Kunstencentrum Vooruit, Sint-Pietersnieuwstraat 23, 9000 Ghent

The book Nieuws, dat verzin je niet (You don't make up the news) by the Dutch journalist Karel van den Berg is a plea for journalistic craftsmanship. The financial crisis as portrayed in the media amplifies the internal crisis but at the same time they are two separate entities. Are journalist still creative, curious and critical? What might we expect from the new weekly news magazines? How will this market evolve? A view behind the editorial scenes with Karel van den Berg, Xandra Schutte (De Groene Amsterdammer), Wouter Verscheiden (De Morgen) and Lisbeth Imbo (Radio 1).

Organization: deBuren, Fonds Pascal Decroos, Mediakritiek.be and VVOJ in collaboration with Vooruit
