Lecture: A Reflection on Palestine and Australian Media

Nour Haydar presents the 2024 A.N. Smith Lecture on Journalism.

In what ways can workplaces better engage with the people who are directly affected by violence? How can organisations empower journalists to report with rigour and authenticity on events that they have unique and valuable insight into? What do terms like credibility, objectivity and impartiality mean in the modern and diverse newsroom? Join for this free public lecture where Haydar's personal reflection on Australian media addresses these questions.

Nour Haydar is co-host and senior producer of Guardian Australia’s daily news podcast Full Story. Prior to joining Guardian Australia in 2024, Nour was a federal political reporter with ABC News at Parliament House in Canberra, and a fill-in presenter on ABC News Breakfast.

The A.N. Smith lecture is the oldest journalism lecture series in Australia, presented each year by a leading authority on an important aspect of journalism.
