Join East Africa based journalists and filmmakers Roopa Gogineni and Trevor Snapp for a conversation about the changing role of foreign correspondents in today's media landscape. What happens when it’s too dangerous or too expensive for international reporters to cover a story? While the internet has opened up much of the world, it’s becoming more difficult to report from many countries where news takes place- Yemen, Sudan, Libya, Somalia, Syria, Iran, and China. So how do we tell these stories? How can we work with citizen and local journalists? How do we verify information? Most importantly, how do we get people outside these conflicts to care? The event will begin with a viewing of two films, a VICE documentary from Somalia and a film produced with citizen journalists in rebel held regions of Sudan.
Light lunch will be provided
