Après-Midi Recap

British-born Claire Atkinson told us from the beginning that much of her talk would be sensitive information that couldn’t be shared on YouTube, so about halfway in, we stopped the recording. The sensitive information was inside information on the life of Rupert Murdoch, but in truth, the discussion went in a completely different direction: media, reporting and truth in today’s world.

Claire described what it’s like for a journalist to walk the tightrope of reporting the facts vs the angle the media wants the reporters to take. This really got the 55 people in the room stirred up and the discussion became quite lively. Personally, I’m really sorry you will miss this part as the temperature in the room rose just after we stopped the recording!

Claire Atkinson has written about the global media business on both sides of the Atlantic. She was previously on Insider’s business desk and came from NBC News where she was Senior Media Editor reporting for NBCNEWS.com, “Nightly News,” MSNBC and NBC News Now. She is also a regular guest on CNBC and appeared on CNN’s “Reliable Sources.”

Claire travels the world to keep you ahead of what’s happening in media, tech and marketing. She’s also the author of a new upcoming bio on Rupert Murdoch. She is based in France but frequently in London and New York.

Nonetheless, it was a fun and informative afternoon and at least you’ll get to see most of it on our YouTube channel.
