AIJC 2018

Last year we had our worst moment at Channel 4 News where we were slammed and publicly rebuked by the regulator after a bad mistake. This year we had one of our finest with Cambridge Analytica. I will look at the remit of Channel 4 News, how it is regulated and how important it is in the world right now given the assault on journalism.

A charismatic politician. A president who calls for killings. A man who thinks drug users should die. Meet Rodrigo Duterte. Soon after he was elected president of the Philippines in May 2016 and launched his war on drugs, the bodies started appearing in the streets. Clare and her colleagues won the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting for a brutal series of stories that exposed how the drug war killings - by the Philippine National Police, including a commander surnamed "death" - were executions. Police in countries such as the Philippines operate in a bubble of impunity. Stories can puncture that bubble, but they have to be impossible to contradict. Clare will explain how she and her colleagues built their investigations around official police reports, security camera footage, forensic analysis of photographs, interviews with unexpected experts, Facebook, and, of course, the police themselves - who as one officer told Clare, have "special kill skills."

This annual lecture to commemorate a journalist who was killed while investigating corruption in Mozambique will focus on Ethiopia, a country which has seen intense struggles over media freedom in recent years, delivered by a writer who has been at the heart of that struggle.
