Across the world, the right to capture and disseminate news and other forms of media is under attack. The lives of journalists and photographers are on the line as well as the state of democracy and freedom around the world.
Please join Tisch College of Civic Life and The Institute for Global Leadership at the “Preserving and Promoting Freedom of the Press” symposium to discuss the state of freedom of the press on a global scale, bringing in the perspectives of journalists, leaders, and advocates in the field. The symposium will include four panels over three days with refreshments to follow each event.
This three-day symposium will include reporters from The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal, contributors to the Washington Post, National Geographic, The New Yorker, The Atlantic, Time and The Guardian and leaders and analysts from the Committee to Protect Journalists, PEN America, the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project, the International Women’s Media Foundation, Alliance for Securing Democracy, Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press and many other organizations.

This wonderful symposium designed by the student leaders and membership of the current vibrant groups of the Institute for Global Leadership with the mentorship and critical support of Heather Barry, represents the first in what I hope will be a series of ongoing quality programs resonant of the 30 years that I recognized such student work during my directorship. I could not be more proud of the continuity that this autonomous student work represents.
