Women should represent women in media

Listening to global voices

Does the media have a "duty of care"?

10 minutes 27 seconds

In this thoughtful talk, David Puttnam asks a big question about the media: Does it have a moral imperative to create informed citizens, to support democracy? His solution for ensuring media responsibility is bold, and you might not agree. But it's certainly a question worth asking.
