James Ball is an award-winning journalist, broadcaster and author. He is a fellow of the think-tank Demos and the political editor of The New European. He is also the current chair of the UK committee of the Ethical Journalism Network. Having been part of the Pulitzer prize-winning journalism team at the Guardian who covered the NSA leaks by Edward Snowden, it's little surprise he's developed more than a passing interest in the topics of trust and truth. Amongst other titles, in 2017 James published ‘Post-Truth: How Bullshit Conquered the World'. The 2024 IC Index highlighted the crucial role of trust at work. With trust on a knife-edge in so many organisations now, we wanted to chat with someone who had researched into this vital issue. Our conversation with James explores the critical role of trust and truth in healthy, well-functioning societies, and what happens when the people we ought to be able to trust don't tell the truth. Takeaways Trust is a pressing issue in the workplace, especially as new ways of working continue to evolve. The definition of trust is nebulous and difficult to quantify, but it generally refers to the belief in what someone says. Facts and figures alone are not enough to change beliefs; trust is built through starting where people are and addressing their concerns. Transparency and open communication are key in building trust and authenticity in journalism and internal communication. Regular and transparent communication is essential for building trust in organizations. Balancing 'I don't know' with providing information is crucial for maintaining credibility. AI can assist in communication but should not replace human interaction. Effective communication involves building rapport, finding common ground, and challenging constructively. Communication should be inclusive, honest, and open to empower individuals and foster trust.

In this episode, Xavier Bonilla has a dialogue with Tom Chivers about Bayesian probability and the impact Bayesian priors have on ourselves. They define Bayesian priors, Thomas Bayes, subjective aspects of Bayes theorem, and the problematic elements of statistical figures such as Galton, Pearson, and Fisher. They talk about the replication crisis, p-hacking, where priors come from, AI, Friston's free energy principle, and Bayesian priors in our world today. Tom Chivers is a science writer. He does freelance science writing and also writes for Semafor.com's daily Flagship email. Before joining Semafor, he was a science editor at UnHerd, science writer for BuzzFeed UK, and features writer for the Telegraph.

At its simplest, Bayes's theorem describes the probability of an event, based on prior knowledge of conditions that might be related to the event. But in Everything Is Predictable, Tom Chivers lays out how it affects every aspect of our lives. He explains why highly accurate screening tests can lead to false positives and how a failure to account for it in court has put innocent people in jail. A cornerstone of rational thought, many argue that Bayes's theorem is a description of almost everything. But who was the man who lent his name to this theorem? How did an 18th-century Presbyterian minister and amateur mathematician uncover a theorem that would affect fields as diverse as medicine, law, and artificial intelligence? Fusing biography and intellectual history, Everything Is Predictable is an entertaining tour of Bayes's theorem and its impact on modern life, showing how a single compelling idea can have far reaching consequences. Tom Chivers is an author and the award-winning science writer for Semafor. Previously he was the science editor at UnHerd.com and BuzzFeed UK. His writing has appeared in The Times (London), The Guardian, New Scientist, Wired, CNN, and more. He was awarded the Royal Statistical Society's “Statistical Excellence in Journalism” awards in 2018 and 2020, and was declared the science writer of the year by the Association of British Science Writers in 2021. His books include The Rationalist's Guide to the Galaxy: Superintelligent AI and the Geeks Who Are Trying to Save Humanity's Future, and How to Read Numbers: A Guide to Stats in the News (and Knowing When to Trust Them). His new book is Everything Is Predictable: How Bayesian Statistics Explain Our World. Shermer and Chivers discuss: Thomas Bayes, his equation, and the problem it solves • Bayesian decision theory vs. statistical decision theory • Popperian falsification vs. Bayesian estimation • Sagan's ECREE principle • Bayesian epistemology and family resemblance • paradox of the heap • Reality as controlled hallucination • human irrationality • superforecasting • mystical experiences and religious truths • Replication Crisis in science • Statistical Detection Theory and Signal Detection Theory • Medical diagnosis problem and why most people get it wrong.

Pink isn't looking at her past through rose-colored glasses. In a new interview with BuzzFeed UK, the “Trustfall” singer was asked to rank her favorite music videos in order. She was quick to put “Lady Marmalade” dead last on that list. Despite collaborating with an all-star list of pop icons on the vid, she says it was not a fun experience, which some people say is her shading Christina Aguilera. This isn't the first time we've heard about a beef between Pink and Xtina - the two have a well documented and longstanding history of butting heads. Pink says it's all water under the bridge, but could this interview reignite their feud?Listen ad free with Wondery+. Join Wondery+for exclusives, binges, early access, and ad free listening.

Hi Tip Off Listeners - We are working hard on new episodes for you, and have some more great stories coming up this series. But this week we are taking a dip into our archive. As the Russian regime is accused of breaking international law and committing untold atrocities in Ukraine, we're re-publishing the first of a two-parter, originally published in 2018. This is the story of how Heidi Blake and her team of journalists at Buzzfeed UK revealed a series of deaths, all on British soil and all linked to Russian actors. These episodes came out just a few weeks before the horrifying news of Novichok poisonings in Salisbury. So, stay tuned for more stories behind the headlines, and for now, enjoy a classic from our archives.Read all about it: https://www.waterstones.com/book/from-russia-with-blood/heidi-blake/9780008300098 If you liked this episode go back and find Episode 16 in our archive - called Web of Death Part 2.

In this podcast episode, we sat down with Tom Chivers—author, journalist, and science writer for The i—to have a conversation on forecasting and the news media. We talked about his background in the media industry, his frustrations with mainstream news and its lack of nuance, his views on forecasting and prediction markets in media, and more. Tom previously wrote for BuzzFeed UK, served as the science editor for UnHerd, and has bylines with New York Times, Guardian, New Scientist, and The Telegraph. He often writes data-driven rebuttals to topics that are being primarily depicted in one way in the media, interjecting nuance into the conversations. In many ways, the same exercise as distinguishing signals from noise. Conducting journalism with a forecaster's mindset. He's also written two books, The AI Does Not Hate You in 2019 and How to Read Numbers in 2021, and writes about similar topics discussed in our communities, including effective altruism, rationality, and forecasting. To our knowledge, Tom is one of the most prominent journalists writing about and covering quantified forecasts. In June of last year, Tom assembled a panel of superforecasters for an article on whether China will invade Taiwan and has started to make his own predictions too! You can follow Tom on Twitter: @TomChivers.

How will Artificial Intelligence affect our lives? How should we respond?   In conjunction with Reform Scotland, the Futures Forum held a seminar with writer and journalist Tom Chivers to discuss how artificial intelligence is developing and changing our lives and the way we should approach it as citizens and how the Scottish Parliament can respond as a legislature.   Tom worked for the Daily Telegraph from 2007 to 2014, and was a science writer at BuzzFeed UK from 2015 to 2018.

This week, we’re asking a question for the ages: Why does York look like a chocolate box while nearby Wakefield looks like hell? In the early 1960s, at a time when visions of the future were all concrete and cars, and even York still thought of itself as a manufacturing centre, some British cities decided to smash up their heritage while others decided to preserve it. Jim Waterson, political editor of Buzzfeed UK and a York native himself, joins us to talk us through this forgotten moment in Britain’s architectural history. Then we ask the audience: what are the best and, especially, worst urban regeneration schemes? Skylines is the podcast from the New Statesman's cities site, CityMetric. It's hosted by Jonn Elledge.

Tom Warren, investigations correspondent, BuzzFeed UK gives a talk for the Business and Practice of Journalism Seminar Series. Introduction by Richard Sambrook.

This week on the podcast we are talking about trains. You might think that we talked about trains a mere two episodes back. To which we respond – trains! Trains are great! Woohoo, trains! Okay, so one big reason why we’re back on public transport again is because it’s what this week’s guest really wanted to talk about. As well as being the political editor of Buzzfeed UK, Jim Waterson is a massive railway nerd, and is the only person ever to – we don’t use this word lightly – beg to appear on this podcast. He tells us the delightfully screwy story of regional Eurostars: how the British government spent hundreds of millions of pounds commissioning trains and building infrastructure so that you could get sleeper trains from Manchester, Wolverhampton or Swansea to the continent – yet never managed to run a single train. Before we hear from Jim, though, Jonn bores Stephanie to tears by enthusiastically recounting everything I’ve learnt about the history of the British railways from a book he’s just...

You should work to create an action plan to use your data. But never forget you need to get  your digital information right. That means several sources of data to help you choose the best course of action. Earlier this year, Deadspin reported on a joint investigation between BuzzFeed UK and the BBC, in an article entitled “The Tennis Racket”, which looked at what they believed was suspicious betting in professional tennis matches. They used a transactional analysis to come up with the players involved and matches they allegedly fixed at the behest of gamblers. This use of data analysis pointed to this key lesson, data analysis is only the starting point in any investigation. You need to review other data to make an action plan. Other sources of information might include interviewing witnesses, reviewing documents, looking at injury factors that might have influenced the outcome of tennis matches. It is not simply enough to identify suspicious activities, you need to determine the facts behind the numbers and then analyze both the numbers and the facts. If warranted, remedial action would then be appropriate. Any best practices program should prevent, detect, and remediate. Another important point is the integration of compliance data into your overall business strategy. One area that compliance is often criticized is that it does not support an overall business goal. By determining a way to use compliance analysis from your data in a manner that supports the business unit going forward, compliance can become an input into business strategy. An example might be in your sales models. Does your business use employees, commissioned sales representatives or entities such as distributors to sell? All of these present not only different types of compliance risks but different types of compliance solutions. By building relationships with all levels throughout the company, you will have the opportunity to move into the trusted business partner realm. This also means looking outside the compliance discipline for inspiration and innovation. Design thinking can be a key way for you avoid getting stuck in a specific paradigm inside your own organization. Think about what your internal or external clients will need to be able to do business in compliance, with the top risk management in place to allow them to move forward. Finally, practice transparency. Remember you are not the legal department, keeping information close to your vest. The compliance mandate is different. If a problem arises, the first job of the CCO is to fix the problem.  Key Takeaways  You must get the data right by looking at several sources before coming to any conclusion. Data can assist the compliance function to aid the business unit to make quantitative and qualitative decisions. Look outside the compliance function for innovation and inspiration.

A series of co-ordinated attacks in Paris on Friday night have resulted in the deaths of at least 129 people. Media outlets quickly mobilized with blanket coverage across television, radio, newspapers and social media. How do the news media outlet co-ordinate and respond to such a breaking and dangerous situation? How do you decide what is a proportionate amount of coverage? And with so many unconfirmed reports, how can you be sure of the reliability of your story? Steve Hewlett discusses the pitfalls and challenges with a panel of guests; John McAndrew from Sky News', the BBC's Gavin Allen, Professor of TV journalism Stewart Purvis, Jeremy Griffin from The Times and Ryan Broderick from Buzzfeed UK. The chair of the Commons culture, media and sport select committee has written to BBC director general Tony Hall about his concern over the corporation's plans to spin off its TV production arm into a separate commercial unit and create BBC Studios. Conservative MP Jesse Norman, who replaced John Whittingdale in May, says he has asked Lord Hall about the impact on commercial rivals and the production sector. He tells Steve Hewlett why its important for the public to be fully consulted over the creation of the new subsidiary. Producer: Katy Takatsuki.

A journalist and media pioneer, Luke Lewis launched the UK edition of BuzzFeed and has grown the website to an astounding 18 million unique monthly readers. Luke reveals the behind-the-scenes secrets to launching a globally successful media brand, tells us how some newspapers now threaten to be put out of business by the web, and explains the winning formula to writing viral online content.

The last issue of Port considered the future of the printed magazine, talking to the editors of longstanding publications like the New York Times Magazine and Vanity Fair. Magazines are coming to terms today with how print and digital complement each other, but in the online world, is the role of the editor under threat? Do we now live in an algo-world shaped by the intelligence of anonymous processes rather than the emotional decisions of humans? Will algorithms play a role in how we write and consume news? Part One: Kevin Slavin, Assistant Professor and founder of Playful Systems Group at MIT explains how, increasingly, modern life is affected by algorithms and computations that leave no signature on our conscious, and why, some writers are no longer writing with a human reader in mind… Part two: Frederick Fischer, CEO of Tame explains that social media has managed to separate content from the news brands, and how the power has shifted from editors to the developers, changing the role of the modern journalist completely. Part three: Luke Lewis, editor of Buzzfeed UK explains how the website 'predicts' what content will be popular with readers...

Former BuzzFeed UK Managing Editor and author of [How to Work Without Losing Your Mind](https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B083VVY4LY/), Cate Sevilla, discusses work identity, resilience, happiness and success. > To be honest, it felt more like the majority of British media just hated our guts. After discussing working-from-home and audiobook recording, Cate talks openly about her time at the very beginning of BuzzFeed UK, before transitioning into founding the online women's magazine BitchBuzz, which closed in 2013. > This was not my fault, and all I can do now is be as honest and as supportive, and try to sort out what I can. Cate joined online women's magazine The Pool, founded by Lauren Laverne and Sam Baker, which ran from 2015 to 2019. She discusses the difficult time she had as the magazine ran out of money, stopped paying freelancers and ultimately let go of its staff. > So much of the problems at work are down to people's individual mental health and lack of boundaries. In discussing her book, Cate talks about identifying herself by her job title, and forming strong relationships with the companies she works for. In her book and [Dream Nation talk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNTGDrQbZaI), Cate uncovers the less glamours side of working for large organisations, including Google. Speaking to Graham, she reveals her personal approach to happiness and success. > How do we relate to other women, work with other women, and compete with other women in a healthy way and know that that's a healthy thing to do? Graham and Cate tackle social media, and especially the effect comparison culture has on millennial women, and the personal pressures that are put on women in general. > I cannot think about the “correct” way in which I am supposed to be managing this or going through some sort of corporate script or strategic negotiation mode. Drawing on her experiences working for a start-up called _DRIVETRIBE_ which was founded by Clarkson, Hammond and May as well as other moments from work, Cate gives her views on kindness at work, trust, empathy, and human connection.
