    Jon Sopel with Phil Harding
    An Online Event

Join us for an exclusive evening with the BBC’s former North America Editor Jon Sopel.

On 3 Prime Ministers &  3 American  Presidents.

For over two decades Jon Sopel has reported from the corridors of power in London and Washington. He has covered three British prime ministers and three American presidents. Hear his inside story in this exclusive event from the Media Society.

What are the big differences between British and American coverage of politics. What’s it like going toe to toe with Donald Trump? And with Tony Blair?

What lessons do we need to learn for next time when Trump may again be the candidate?

Join us for what promises to be a fascinating evening with Jon Sopel in conversation with the journalist and broadcaster Phil Harding.

Jon will talk about his career as a top broadcaster, at the centre of events in London and Washington, and what’s coming next.
