Dear Colleagues

Please see below the programme for our Global Media event, addressed by representatives from Russia Today and Global Witness, and featuring the work of some of our Media Discourse Group doctoral candidates

It includes a holographic exhibition on the third floor of the Clephan Building, and even includes lunch (also gratis)

The event is free - to book a place, drop me a line at [log in to unmask], though you can of course turn up on the day if you like to live (slightly) dangerously 

Best wishes
