Media Matters: Evolution of the Media Landscape and Why It Matters

NYTimes

Registration 12:15pm
Lunch 12:30pm,
Close 2:00pm


Under Mark Thompson’s leadership, The New York Times has evolved from a traditional American newspaper to a leading global digital news organization, adding millions of paid digital subscriptions around the world. But the media landscape that prompted those dramatic changes is still in upheaval, creating an existential moment for journalism. In dialogue with Ms. Ying Chan, Former Founding Director of The University of Hong Kong’s Journalism and Media Studies Centre, Mr. Thompson will explore some of the biggest challenges ahead, including the intensified repression of journalists around the world, profound change in how consumers look for news and commentary, and the vital role of investigative journalism in serving an expanding international audience.

The company has also introduced a new era of international growth, launched an industry leading branded content studio and invested in virtual reality, producing some of the most celebrated work in this emerging medium. Before joining The New York Times, Mr. Thompson served as Director-General of the BBC and Chief Executive Officer of Channel 4 Television Corporation in the United Kingdom. He was a visiting professor of Rhetoric and the Art of Public Persuasion at the University of Oxford. Mr. Thompson was educated at Stonyhurst College and Merton College, Oxford.
