WATCH LIVE: Eyes wide shut? Will the future of journalism mean we are better informed?

Start playing the video window below to see a live feed of a discussion about the future of journalism in light of new technologies. The Index on Censorship is launching the autumn edition of its magazine with a discussion surrounding questions about whether changes within journalism will leave the public knowing more or less than they have in the past.
