Opening Remarks

The inaugural Sir Harry Evans Global Summit in Investigative Journalism is hosted by Reuters editor-in-chief Alessandra Galloni, Durham University vice chancellor Karen O’Brien, and Evans’ wife, Tina Brown CBE.

For Sir Harry, trust in journalism was essential and the debasement of fact-based reporting was a serious concern for functioning democracy. To reignite Sir Harry’s values, we are creating a summit to champion the work of today’s investigative journalists.
