Live stream direct from the Edinburgh International Book Festival

In conjunction with Edinburgh International Book Festival, we are delighted to present this special livestream event with Jimmy Wales.

As trust in billionaire-owned social media platforms continues to plummet, it’s astonishing to see how crowd-sourced knowledge bank, Wikipedia – once a byword for dubious accuracy – has built up its readers’ faith to become one of the internet’s most clear-sighted information sources. Maintaining confidence in a landscape of untruths is important to Wikipedia’s legendary founder Jimmy Wales. We’re thrilled to welcome this key figure of the online age to discuss his book The Seven Rules of Trust. Chaired by Heather Parry.

Please note: this event is streamed at AK Bell Library in partnership with the Edinburgh International Book Festival.
