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:
