This conference will gather news media professionals, media innovators, academics, students and the public to take on the ethical issues facing the practice of journalism in increasingly authoritarian times.
With panel discussions, presentations and hands-on training, we will explore topics such as covering protest, unrest, and organized resistance, and covering government corruption and abuse of power. We will also learn about emerging models of journalism that can help us meet the moment.
