War reporting presents particular issues for politicians and journalists. Has censorship in wartime changed over time and what are the issues for broadcasters in a world of 24/7 news and social media? Can national broadcasters be truly independent at a time of war?
With Professor Christopher Andrew, Professor of Modern and Contemporary History, Cambridge; Professor David Welch, Emeritus Professor of History at University of Kent specialising in 20th century political propaganda; and Dr Peter Busch, Department of War Studies, King's College London who is a specialist in war and social media. Chaired by BBC Cambridgeshire's Chris Mann, a former Moscow Correspondent during the Cold War.
