On Wednesday night, I joined Monocle 24’s Aperitivo to consider the question of the future of “hard news”, amid coverage of Syria, the Middle East, and other regions.

The item begins at 5:36, with a reference to Buzzfeed’s decision to open an investgative unit and other developments in the US media market.

My involvement, describing EA WorldView and the challenges and possibilities in the coverage of international events beyond “traditional” journalism, starts at 8:45.
