Confessions of a hawkish hack: the media and the war on terror
Policy Exchange is delighted to invite you to the launch of a new publication on the terrorist threat and the West’s response to it. Confessions of a hawkish hack: the media and the war on terror is an edited version of a recent lecture by Matthew D’Ancona, the Editor of The Spectator. In it, he outlines his own interpretation of the attacks of 9/11 and offers a critique of the media’s coverage of events since then. Above all, he urges the West to show greater patience and stamina in a conflict that is likely to last for decades and may never have a clear end point.
Matthew D’Ancona will discuss the book with Martin Bright, the political editor of the New Statesman and author of the acclaimed Policy Exchange report When Progressives Treat With Reactionaries.
Time: 6.30 p.m., Wednesday 13th December 2006
Venue: Ideas Forum, Clutha House, 10 Storey’s Gate, London SW1P 3AY
If you would like to attend please RSVP to events@policyexchange.org.uk or 0207 340 2650 to reserve a place.
