The Observer

Sir Harry Evans was arguably the greatest newspaper editor of the 20th century. The Sir Harry Evans Global Summit in Investigative Journalism brings together the biggest names in journalism to continue his legacy, and debate the future of speaking truth to power.

In this series we bring you conversations from the inaugural summit, which was held in London on 10th May 2023.

From Tortoise Media, in partnership with the Sir Harry Evans Global Summit for Investigative Journalism, Tina Brown Media, Reuters and Durham University.

Tortoise is an independent newsroom dedicated to making sense of the world and the stories that matter. This summer, we're launching the Tortoise Journalism School, an intensive week-long programme in our newsroom in London devoted to workshops about journalism and work on a shared editorial project.
