Is there still a role for mainstream media in the 21st century?
As we continue to explore concepts such as post-truth and echo chambers in the Global Perspectives curriculum, in a world where news is more accessible, and potentially more polarising than ever, we must question whether there is still a role for mainstream media? We are delighted to welcome Dominic Waghorn to deliver the 2026 Global Perspectives Lecture. Dominic will share a personal account of why he believes so passionately in broadcast media, and discuss how we can all think more critically in a bid to find the truth.
Dominic is Sky’s International Affairs Editor, covering major stories worldwide, and reporting from the front line of wars and revolutions in Ukraine, Syria, Israel, Egypt and Libya. He is one of Sky’s most experienced award winning foreign correspondents, having been based in Beijing, Jerusalem and Washington DC. He has interviewed Nelson Mandela, Bashar al Assad, Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump and has won a BAFTA, two Royal Television Society awards, including Correspondent of the Year; a Monte Carlo TV Film Festival Golden Nymph, and two UK Foreign Press Association awards. We are honoured to welcome him to Bedales.
