Mail on Sunday columnist, Facebook personality, feminist, author, award-winning journalist and editor Suzanne Moore will be in Bristol next week to give the fifth annual Benn Lecture on the state of the media. Moore, who has written for publications as varied as Grazia and the London Review of Books, will speak about the changing face of media in the social media age â as well as how it feels to be a feminist writing for the right-wing Mail and how the British press are dealing with the politics of coalition government.
