Heritage Lecture: Ross McPherson talks about the past, present and future of newspapers, the power of story telling and this episode relates that to tackling climate change

Ross McPherson (pictured), the Chairman and editor-in-chief of the Shepparton-based McPherson Group of Newspapers, was the guest speaker at The Greater Shepparton Biennial Bruce Willson Memorial Heritage Lecture for 2024. The Wednesday, June 5, session was recorded, in both an audio and visual sense but the recording has not been posted as yet on the City Council YouTube website. I urge you to check back regularly for once the event is posted, you will be able to see and hear Ross's lecture. The need for story-telling to combat the climate crisis and prepare people for the inevitable challenges is regularly discussed in many books, including that which is presently on my desk, "All We Can Save: Truth, Courage, and Solutions for the Climate Crisis".
