This session will take a look at the way the wizarding world’s mainstream media, as represented by The Daily Prophet, and fringe media, as represented by The Quibbler, covered Harry Potter and how they were influenced (or not) by the powers-that-be during and after Voldemort’s return to power.

Are there lessons to be learned from Rita Skeeter and Xenophilius Lovegood about ethics and journalistic courage?
