Topic
Join us for an insightful Q&A with journalist and author Charlotte Grieve as she discusses her recent book, Duty to Warn, which takes readers inside the Dr Munjed Al Muderis defamation trial (in which the Nine Network successfully invoked the public interest defence for the first time) and explores the power of investigative journalism to hold institutions and individuals accountable. Charlotte will share insights and anecdotes from the courtroom, reflect on the people and events at the centre of the case, that is currently under appeal, and discuss what it takes to investigate and tell a complex legal story.
