``The need for high quality journalism has simply never been greater. Amid a flood of misinformation that has frankly left democracy itself in danger, we have a commitment and a responsibility to raise the tone of the discourse with deeply-reported, solidly-sourced articles and fair analysis. Technology has been a great enabler, but has it also created unchecked and prolific sources of misinformation. That makes our jobs harder and more important than ever before: Winning the trust of readers who have lost faith in news can be done only with the kind of gold-standard reporting The Wall Street Journal practices.``

``Consumers have always shown to be willing to pay for the things that matter most in their lives. And highly credible journalism is certainly one of those things.

“World Media Group events always inspire and inform. They provide a rare opportunity for a diverse range of industry professionals to network and engage around relevant topics whilst keeping up to date with media and content trends.”
