The Gay Byrne Memorial Lecture returns to the Lighthouse Cinema this November for another exciting instalment.
Following the success of last year's inaugural lecture, the RTS Republic of Ireland are delighted to announce the Gay Byrne Memorial Lecture 2024, which will take place on the 13th of November in the iconic Lighthouse Cinema once again.
Who can we trust? In a time of fake news, misinformation, disinformation, conspiracy theories, AI, trolls- Who to believe? What to believe? What is real - what is bogus? How can we tell the difference? How do we know what we know? That is the theme of this year’s Gay Byrne Memorial Lecture: Keynote speaker Olivia O’Leary, writer, journalist and broadcaster. Moderator Professor Brian Mac Craith, Chair of the Commission for the Future of Media.
Following the talk the floor will be open to Q&As from the audience.
We hope you can join us for what promises to be a lively evening of conversation!
The evening will kick-off at 6pm with a drinks reception in the Lighthouse Cinema’s foyer, with the lecture starting at 6:30pm sharp.
