Journalism at the Crossroads: Americas and Beyond
Despite differences in time period and situation, there are many journalists today in war-torn, conflicted, and critical territories who suffer physically and psychologically. Societies in those territories count on the work of journalists to exercise their right of free speech. This two-part event – a presentation of short documentaries (film & radio), and a forum -- will provide critical insights into the perils and challenges journalists face while reporting from today’s conflict-torn territories in crisis in the Americas and Beyond.
Journalism at the Crossroads is organized by the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies and the Forum for Scholars and Publics, with generous support from the Office of Global Affairs and the Hanscom Endowment, all at Duke University.
