First quote from Mr. Curran

Professor James Curran from Goldsmiths College will shortly deliver the opening speech “Journalism In Crisis” focusing on “a crisis not just in journalism, but also in media reformism”, he said.

Mr. Curran didn’t expand any more and has apparently been asked a number of times what his speech will be about, but has kept his cards close to his chest. When asked if he was going to deliver something groundbreaking, he said “No, I don’t think so.” Mysterious.
