Alf Young to give Hetherington Lecture, 2011

Alf Young, former Deputy Editor of the Herald, will deliver this year’s Hetherington Lecture on Tuesday 10 May at 6pm, in the Logie Lecture Theatre.

PRESSED OUT OF EXISTENCE: the era of devolution should have marked a renaissance for the newspaper industry in Scotland. Instead the internet age is threatening its very future. Can print journalism find a sustainable way to appeal to the digital generation or might this decade prove to be its last?

To reserve a space please email externalrelations@stir.ac.uk or phone 01786 467055.

The annual Hetherington Memorial Lecture is held in honour of the late Alastair Hetherington who was Emeritus Professor of Film, Media & Journalism and previously a distinguished editor of The Guardian and Controller of BBC Scotland
