Launching a News Club Network: An Antidote to Disinformation & Division

At the heart of today’s intersecting crises — climate breakdown, inequality, conflict, and social division — is a media landscape shaped by billionaire, corporate, and political interests.

Tickets: https://www.conwayhall.org.uk/whats-on/event/launching-a-news-club-network/ 

Join Media Revolution and Conway Hall Ethical Society during Media Liberation Week for an evening of speakers, networking, and an interactive, practical session where you can experience a live News Club in action and take home an empowering initiative for your community, and form the new News Club Network.

News Clubs turn media consumption from an isolating doom-scroll into a conscientious, collective community activity — using our accessible CAPE toolkit (Content, Accuracy, Politics, and Emotions) to scrutinise the news together, build media literacy, and create a pathway to informed action.

Speakers & Programme:

• Keynote: Gail Bradbrook (Co-founder, Extinction Rebellion)

• Panel & Live CAPE Demonstration: Featuring Gail Bradbrook, Lexie Kirkconnell-Kawana (CEO, IMPRESS), Tom Chivers, and Nima Akram – founder of NewsCord  chaired by Liz Pendleton (Media Revolution)

• Interactive News Club Breakout: Put the CAPE toolkit to the test around tables with fellow attendees, followed by drinks and networking.
