After the headlines trumpeting that Alex Crawford and Sky News were clear winners of the battle for reporting Tripoli, we will be taking stock of this recent chapter in covering modern warfare. With a panel of newsroom executives and front-line journalists, we will discuss how the conflict in Libya was reported and what its legacy is likely to be.
If the death of ITV News correspondent Terry Lloyd in Iraq in 2003 raised awareness about safety and risk in modern conflict, what can we learn from the reporting that took journalists right to the heart of the battle, the journalists who were held in the Rixos hotel and the competition between channels? What are the pressures for both news executives and journalists in such circumstances?
Chaired by former BBC executive Vin Ray.
With: Bill Neely, International Editor for ITV News, Sarah Whitehead, head of International News at Sky News, and Jon Williams, the BBC's World News Editor.
