Editor of The Conversation; an independent, not-for-profit, news and
information service sourced from the university and research sector.

There is great pressure on newsrooms worldwide as advertising revenue falls and and shortcuts to a story result in bad outcomes for our society. Meanwhile academics struggle to communicate with the wider public. Andrew discusses a solution to both problems.

About TEDx, x = independently organised event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organised events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organised events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organised TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organised.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
