The Power of Journalists

by Nick Robinson

We live in a profoundly challenging era for journalists. While the profession has historically taken on the mantle of providing clear, sound information to the public, journalists now face competition from dubious sources online and smear campaigns launched by public figures. In The Power of Journalists , four of the United Kingdom’s foremost journalists—Nick Robinson, Barbara Speed, Charlie Beckett, and Gary Gibbon—give on-the-ground accounts of how they’ve weathered some of the most significant political events of the past five years, including the referendum on Scottish independence and Brexit. These monumental political decisions exposed each journalist to the dangerous vicissitudes of public opinion, and made them all the more certain of their mission. In describing the role of the journalist as truth-teller and protector of impartiality as well as interpreter of controversial facts and trusted source of public opinion, they issue a clarion call for good journalism.

About the author

I am a professional origami artist and author and I've been folding paper for over 30 years. I never cease to be amazed by the geometric possibilities and sheer beauty that lies dormant within a sheet of paper, waiting for the careful hand of the folder to awaken it.

Over the years, origami has brought me many friends, has inspired, amused and intrigued me, as well as being a source of income. It's a lucky man who gets to work at a subject he loves.

I have been a member of the British Origami Society for over 25 years and edited their magazine as well as maintaining their website since 1996. I have written 35 books about origami, supplied photographs for articles on paper-folding and have fulfilled numerous commercial and charitable origami commissions involving origami and paper art over the last 20 years, both within the UK and abroad.

unlock your potential!I have created several hundred original designs. I regularly teach origami in schools, arts centres and many other venues & have a clean enhanced CRB check.

Let me unlock the potential of origami for your creative campaigns!

[Oscar Glyn · Rating 4 out of 5]

Gary Gibbon and Nick Robinson were the best lectures. Really nice colloquial reads talking about modern journalism and what threatens it but also fairly optimistic.
