We live in a dangerous time for journalists. Killings of reporters are on the rise, while countless journalists have been forced to work in exile. Why are journalists such targets? How does this affect how they report? What can readers do to support the free press? Faced with danger, what can journalism do? We are delighted to welcome Madeleine Schwartz, editor-in-chief of global magazine of culture and politics the Dial, in conversation with Laurent Richard and Sandrine Rigaud of Forbidden Stories, an organization whose mission is to protect, pursue and publish the work of other journalists facing threats, prison, or murder. They will discuss their work bringing the work of endangered journalists to readers, share recent projects, and consider why journalism matters.

This event is organized in partnership with the Dial.
