Today you are are celebrating 50 years of your association. Congratulations. My career as a journalist with news organisations such as the BBC and ITN's Channel 4 News only goes back a little under half of that. But anniversaries are a good moment to think about where we have got to and where we are going. So today I want to use history as a framework for thinking about journalism while also looking to its future. As I am here in Korea with an international audience I also want to put my thoughts into a global perspective.
