Description
How is journalism affected by a world marked by war, conflict and increasing polarization?
Together with NTB, we invite you to a conversation about the role of journalism in our time. What does anger and hard fronts do to journalism?
Based on experiences from the field, we explore the challenges and dilemmas journalists face in covering complex conflicts, and how journalism can fulfill its role in a time marked by uncertainty, polarization and rapid change.
We are joined by:
- Yama Wolasmal is NRK’s Middle East correspondent and is currently based in Beirut.
- Hannah Emilie Bøthun is a news journalist at NTB, with previous experience at, among others, Aftenposten, NRK and Bergens Tidende.
- Javad Parsa is an Iranian-Norwegian photojournalist at NTB. He was forced to flee Iran after photographing the demonstrations in 2009.
- Kyrre Lien, a photographer and writer at VG, with a particular focus on the Middle East.
With one ticket you can attend the guided tour, conversation and poetry evening.
