The Press Under Fire
While international news is more important then ever, the press is increasingly the target of attack. Please join us for a discussion on how the media reports conflicts, the protection of reporters in dangerous situations, press freedom, and the perception of Western media abroad and foreign coverage at home.

A number of panels on media and conflict are being held to observe the one-year anniversary of Danny's death. All are free and open to the public. The panels are a chance to reflect on the values for which Danny lived, and the risks that journalists around the world continue to face. Panels will be held in the following cities:

New York
Boston
Paris
