An evening with investigative journalist, Nick Davies. 


A lively and fascinating evening on October 1 as Nick Davies shared the gripping story of the six year investigation which would eventually unearth the endemic culture of criminality and corruption that existed inside Rupert Murdoch’s News International. 
His talk elicited lively questions and robust discussion about the future of journalism and revealed a widespread enthusiasm from correspondents representing myriad nations to forge new ways to maintain great investigative traditions and reporting.


Davies' book, 'Hack Attack: How the Truth Caught Up with Rupert Murdoch' draws on exclusive interviews with private investigators, journalists, police officers and Murdoch executives and is a not-to-be-missed dissection of the way politics, police and media colluded to abuse their powers in 21st century Britain.


Davies' spoke about his journalistic methods, the ethical conundrums he and The Guardian faced as they took on the world's most powerful media mogul, the continuing need for well resourced, incisive investigative work - and admitted a couple of regrets, including the shock closure of News of the World and the loss of so many reporting jobs.
