Phil Chetwynd Highlights Journalism’s Key Challenges at Sciences Po Inaugural Lecture
AFP's Global News Director, Phil Chetwynd, delivered the keynote address titled “Why Journalism Still Matters” at the 2024 inaugural lecture of Sciences Po’s School of Journalism.
In his speech, Chetwynd discussed the most pressing challenges faced by journalists and media organisations today, including the emergence of AI, increasing attacks on the press, and ongoing disputes with digital platforms over revenue and copyright.
“The context is tough. The challenges are many. The future is uncertain. But there is no more exciting or more important time to be a journalist,” said Chetwynd.
Students also had the opportunity to hear about AFP’s essential role in the global media landscape, its 80-year history, its pioneering work in digital verification, and the complexities of delivering 24-hour news coverage.
