Zanny Minton Beddoes: Deciding What Matters in a Noisy World

We sit down with the Editor-in-Chief of The Economist.

"You've been accused of being a war criminal. This is not just mad campus radicalism. In much of the world, Israel is doing very poorly because people see a country behaving in ways that are not compatible with being a liberal democracy."

How many people get the opportunity to challenge Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel, so directly?

As Editor-in-Chief of The Economist, Zanny Minton Beddoes spends every week deciding what matters: which stories deserve the world's attention, which headlines will quickly fade and which questions millions of readers need answered. At a time when we're drowning in information but starved of clarity, how do you decide what actually matters?

We'll go inside The Economist's editorial meetings to explore how stories are chosen, debated and prioritised and what separates a passing headline from a defining global shift. We'll also discuss what it's really like to sit down with presidents, prime ministers and central bankers: how you prepare and which questions unlock the most revealing answers.

This is a rare opportunity to hear from the person who decides what millions of readers understand about the world each week.
