MSNBC anchor and correspondent Ali Velshi delivered an Ismaili Centre International Lecture in which he explored how news outlets make sense of it all, and whether they are helping or hurting the way in which we consume the news. He was joined by award-winning journalist John Stackhouse, who is a Senior Vice-President at RBC, and Global TV news anchor Farah Nasser
