    Journalists in Jeopardy: Risking it All to Get the Story

    Tue, Apr 7, 2015
    Journalists face extraordinary peril to report on the prevailing issues of the day. Facing a global attack on their livelihoods – and sometimes their very lives – journalists are being forced to recalibrate and reassess.

How can investigative reporting survive in this challenging and often dangerous environment? Moderated by The World's Editor Aaron Schachter.
