In Focus with David Bishop

Loading player...
In 2019, our Future Media Broadcast Editor, David Bishop, was nominated for the prestigious Edward R. Murrow Fellowship. But, as life often throws curveballs, the 'world fell apart a bit' – keeping it concise, we're saying see you later to David for the next three weeks.

David was away for three-week programme. The programme will unpacked key topics like "cybersecurity risks, the proliferation of internet trolls, and the potential for emerging A.I. (Advanced Intelligence) to rapidly escalate the threat of disinformation", "the use of social media to amplify and disseminate information throughout a rural state", and "the psychology of fake news and disinformation", to name just a few.

While in the US, David also had the opportunity to visit companies like Voice of America, National Public Radio, and others shaping the news landscape. He'll connect with important figures from organisations like the American Press Institute, The News Literacy Project, Internews, and The Center for Media at Risk and FactCheck.org.
