Sky News political editor David Speers will be guest speaker and will detail the impact on journalism of the new media environment created by the rise of Donald Trump .
“ In an era of ‘ fake news ’, ‘ alternative facts ’ and mistrust of the media , who would want to be a political reporter ?” Speers said .
