SUMMARY:I Wish We'd Known That: Leading Journalists Look Back at the Russian Story
DESCRIPTION:RSVP Now \nThe invasion of Ukraine seems to have finally eviscerated Russia’s post-Soviet hopes for democracy\, human rights\, and reconciliation with the past. Through this period – and especially the 23 years of Vladimir Putin’s rule – independent journalism strove in the absence of free institutions of state and alongside government-aligned media to bear attentive and accurate witness to Russia’s transformation. That has largely ended with Putin’s shuttering of independent media outlets\, their offices disbanded\, and journalists forced into exile. If their work is not saved\, the record it represents might be erased forever. \nThe Russian Independent Media Archive\, a new project undertaken by PEN America with the Gagarin Center at Bard College and made in collaboration with Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine\, is preserving the archives of these outlets as vital resources for making sense of Russia’s past and its future. The project’s online platform forms a “digital ark” for securing this irreplaceable journalism\, where possible in collaboration with the outlets’ editors\, and offering access to writers\, researchers\, scholars\, and others seeking to build a historical narrative that stands against propaganda efforts to reinterpret the past. \nAs we unveil this project\, noted journalists who have covered Russia will reflect on their reporting\, drawing on the archive for insights on three questions: What did I not know back then? What has been revealed now? How can it help us in the future? \nPanelists: \n\nMasha Gessen\, staff writer\, The New Yorker; author of “Surviving Autocracy\,” “The Future Is History\,” “The Man Without a Face”\nSusan Glasser\, staff writer\, The New Yorker; author of “Kremlin Rising\, The Man Who Ran Washington” and most recently “The Divider\,” which she co-wrote with her husband Peter Baker\nBeth Knobel\, associate professor of Communication and Media Studies at Fordham University\nAnna Nemzer\, TV presenter at the major independent Russian TV channel “Dozhd”\nDavid Remnick\, editor of The New Yorker; author of six books\, including “Lenin’s Tomb: The Last Days of the Soviet Empire”\n\nJoin us for a 5:00 p.m. – 6:15 p.m. panel in the newsroom followed by a reception from 6:15 p.m. – 7 p.m. Please RSVP. \n\nSponsors: The Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism\, PEN America\, and the Russian Independent Media Archive (RIMA)\, a joint initiative of PEN America and Bard College\, and made in collaboration with Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine.
