Trial by Media: In Conversation with Louis Charalambous

Description

In an age when headlines shape reputations, how do we separate justice from spectacle? Join media lawyer Louis Charalambous and a leading journalist for a timely discussion exploring high-profile cases like Johnny Depp v. The Sun and the Bashir/Diana interview scandal.  

Drawing on real-life examples, the panel will examine how media narratives are constructed, challenged and amplified, as well as the legal frameworks that govern reporting. 

With growing scrutiny of media treatment of women, including Chappell Roan and Amber Heard, alongside renewed attention on figures like Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, this conversation asks whether “trial by media” is more pervasive than ever.
