How true is your world view?
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The BBC World Service Trust is co-producing a special edition of ‘The World Debate’ at the annual TED conference in Monterey,
California.
Chaired by Matt Frei, the presenter of BBC World News America, the debate will focus on how the media conveys news and the effect this has on our opinions about global issues. A panel consisting of Carl Bernstein Author/Journalist, Sergey Brin from Google, Dan Gilbert Harvard Psychologist, Andrew Mwenda Journalist/Broadcaster and Queen Noor of Jordan will debate the question: “How true is your world view?” They will consider issues such as:
• Does news reporting distort reality? About TED Originally devoted to Technology, Entertainment and Design, the conference’s content has broadened in recent years. The attendees – CEOs, scientists, designers, intellectuals – are as extraordinary as the speakers, who in 2007 included former US President Bill Clinton, musician Paul Simon, author Isabel Allende, biologist EO Wilson, designer Phillipe Starck, and Virgin CEO Richard Branson. About the World Debate The World Debate series, produced by BBC World TV and BBC World Service radio with support from the BBC World Service Trust, is a series of discussions on issues affecting the world today. A panel of international experts and opinion formers come together to discuss an issue and answer questions put to them by the studio audience. Recent debates have included: an edition on climate change recorded at the World Economic Forum in Davos; the Future of Learning, which discussed the One Laptop Per Child initiative in Kuala Lumpur; and, a programme from Stockholm that gave the audience an opportunity to quiz this year’s Nobel laureates. Big questions The BBC World Service Trust believes that media and communication can be immense and powerful instruments in the search for solutions to the development challenges facing global society today, such as HIV and AIDS, population growth, climate change, and poverty. It is these big questions that delegates at TED’s annual conference have come to debate. BBC World Debate: “How true is you world view?” will be transmitted on BBC World in late March. Transmission dates and times will be available on |
