Derby QUAD: Stephen Sackur: Hard Truth: Investigations That Shook the World - and Why They Matter Now

Stephen Sackur discusses his book Hard Truth, drawing on ten dramatic cases that show how journalists have gone to extraordinary lengths to uncover the truth. The event reflects on fearless reporting, the dangers faced by investigative journalists, and why these stories still matter in an era shaped by disinformation and digital manipulation.

Sackur, best known for presenting BBC HARDtalk, will explore how reporting has challenged political power, exposed corruption, and defended democracy. He will be in conversation with BBC Midlands Correspondent Navtej Johal, making this a thoughtful public talk for anyone interested in journalism, current affairs, media and the role of free expression in society.
