Podcast 08: Izabella Kaminska of The Blind Spot
Izabella Kaminska was a journalist at the FT for many years, but has now moved out into her own independent publication called The Blind Spot.
Izabella and Adam discuss a number of topics based around the current state of the media.
Key learnings:
-
“Truth is the first casualty of war” has never been more true than today in regards to Russia/ Ukraine
-
When we look through this lens, we also see that the response to the Covid pandemic was exactly the same, ie just like a war
-
As much as we try to deny it, Twitter hysteria has shown it impacts both government policy AND public mood
Make sure to listen to the end where Izabella describes the major geopolitical implications we will be facing over the next 20 years.
