How Can Journalism Take Down Fascism? Panel Discussion at Waterstones

About

A panel of journalists and anti-fascist campaigners join us to discuss their research and reporting into far-right networks – and what they believe are the opportunities for journalists in defeating far-right extremism.

Award-winning journalist and author Paul Mason, and director of anti-fascist campaigning group HOPE not hate Nick Lowles join journalist Sian Norris to discuss the role journalism and research can play in exposing far-right activity in order to take down the new fascism. They will discuss their reporting and research into far-right networks, unpick the new fascist ideology, explore its impact on women and minority groups, and make the case for why journalists must play an active role in defeating the far-right.

Paul Mason's book How to Stop Fascism offers a guide to resisting and defeating the new far-right – a contemporary fascism, he argues, that is a symptom of capitalist failure that has haunted us throughout the last century. Sian Norris's new book Bodies Under Siege outlines the far-right attack on reproductive rights and how the American far-right set a precedent for its European counterparts.
