Liz Corbin: ‘24 Hours for the Future of Journalism’ Speech
Liz Corbin, EBU Head of News, delivers a keynote address to ‘24 Hours for the Future of Journalism’, a Constructive Journalism Institute conference:
HOPE
There’s a phrase in English football which says “It’s the hope that kills you”. It means it’s better not to hope that your team will win because, when they’re defeated, it makes it that much harder to bear.
But what is life without hope? Certainly, no-one would follow a football team if there was really no hope at all of victory.
Having lived through 2020, perhaps now you might be tempted to agree that those who had fewer hopes for this year were spared the depth of the disappointments. Hopes of travels, hopes of time together with our families and friends, hopes for new adventures, hopes for good health.
