It is an all-day conference with two auditoriums – sessions will run in parallel, from 
9am to 4pm in the New Academic Building, Lincolns Inn Fields, LSE.
There will be debates on the issue of Trust, but also more practical sessions with journalists describing how they deliver cutting edge trustworthy journalism in the digital age.
The keynote conversation will be Nick Davies from the Guardian – a veteran investigative reporter who is currently finishing his book on how he broke the phone-hacking scandal that led to the Leveson inquiry.
Here is the schedule:
Please note that most of the speakers are journalists and so their appearance is partly dependent on the news! Names and timings may change.
