SUMMARY:Covering Elections Series: Part 2
DESCRIPTION:In a year in which four billion people are scheduled to vote in 25 elections\, the world already looks very different. \nThis three-part series on Covering Elections from the Journalism Protection Initiative at the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism will focus on press freedom and the safety challenges of reporting on the U.S. election. The series is co-sponsored by the Center for Community Media. \n“Covering Elections” is part of a range of public programming from the Newmark J-School which will examine the media’s role from every angle. \n\n\nOn the Skirmish Line\nCo-sponsored by the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University and Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press (RCFP) \nProtests have become part of the political and electoral landscape in the United States\, and will likely feature in the fall\, from college campuses to campaign rallies. But covering protests safely represents an enormous challenge for the press. During the 2020 nationwide protests that followed the murder of George Floyd\, hundreds of journalists were arrested and assaulted by law enforcement. Journalists\, like protesters\, have a legal right to be present in public spaces and document police activities\, but the ability of journalists to remain on the scene — when a dispersal order is given or a curfew imposed — is more circumscribed. \nThis panel discussion will open with a presentation from Gabe Rottman\, director of RCFP’s Press Freedom and Technology Project\, on a settlement agreement with the NYPD and a soon-to-be-released report from the Justice Department that could strengthen protections for the press. The conversation — moderated by Joel Simon\, founding director of the Journalism Protection Initiative — will also cover the evolving climate for protest coverage from a legal and practical perspective. \n\nPanelists  \nKaty Glenn Bass: As the program director of the Knight First Amendment Institute\, Glenn Bass oversaw the production of Simon’s 2023 report on policing\, Covering Democracy\, and participated in an accompanying documentary\, Flashpoint. She also authored a report on press freedom and policing in her previous role at PEN America.  \nMolly Biklen: Associate Legal Director of NYCLU was the lead counsel on the historic settlement with the NYPD that bans “kettling” and increases legal protections for journalists and protesters alike.  \nKatie Nelson: Nelson is a freelance photojournalist who was attacked by police while covering protests in Minneapolis following the murder of George Floyd\, and received a legal settlement. She has covered protests around the world\, most recently in Kenya. \nWesley Lowery: A Pulitzer-prize winning journalist\, Lowery was arrested in 2014 while reporting on unrest in Ferguson\, Missouri and is a leading authority on the issue of press freedom and policing. He is an associate professor of investigative journalism at American University.

SUMMARY:Covering Elections Series: Part 3
DESCRIPTION:In a year in which four billion people are scheduled to vote in 25 elections\, the world already looks very different. \nThis three-part series on Covering Elections from the Journalism Protection Initiative at the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism will focus on press freedom and the safety challenges of reporting on the U.S. election. The series is co-sponsored by the Center for Community Media. \n“Covering Elections” is part of a range of public programming from the Newmark J-School which will examine the media’s role from every angle. \n\n\nCan We Stop Online Harassment? \nCo-sponsored by Freedom of the Press Foundation and the Kettering Foundation \nCampaigns of online harassment have become a key election tool\, used to intimidate and punish critical reporters. Female\, queer journalists and journalists of color are particularly vulnerable. News organizations initially responded to online harassment by encouraging social media platforms to remove harmful content and implement policies to protect users from abuse. Now\, more journalists and news organizations are providing journalists with tools to manage their online profiles\, suppress hate on their timelines\, and prepare themselves emotionally for the inevitable onslaught. This session\, featuring a panel of experts and journalists\, will look at how the strategies and tactics of self defense have evolved\, and what journalists can do in this shifting landscape to protect themselves online. \n\nPanelists \nHarlo Holmes: Holmes\, chief information security officer at the Freedom of the Press Foundation\, is an expert on both personal defense against online harassment and tech policy. \nSara Rafsky: Rafsky is an information security analyst at The New York Times. She has been leading the organization’s work on providing digital security guidance and support for the newsroom’s 2024 election coverage. \nViktorya Vilk: Vilk is the director for digital safety and free expression at PEN America. She has worked with newsrooms across the country. \nMacollvie Neel\, Special Projects Editor\, The Haitian Times.

SUMMARY:“Being Jewish After the Destruction of Gaza”: A Book Talk with Peter Beinart
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation with Peter Beinart about his new book\, Being Jewish After the Destruction of Gaza. A frequent contributor to The New York Times and an MSNBC analyst\, Beinart is a professor of journalism at the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY and a professor of political science at the CUNY Graduate Center. He is also the editor at large of Jewish Currents and writes The Beinart Notebook\, a weekly newsletter. On February 4\, he will be joined by journalist and distinguished lecturer\, Alia Malek\, who leads Newmark J-School’s program for international reporting. Together\, they will explore the themes of the book and discuss its broader implications. \nIn Being Jewish After the Destruction of Gaza\, Beinart considers how a story of persecution and victimhood has come to dominate contemporary Jewish life\, even as Israel is decimating the conditions of life for millions. That narrative\, Beinart argues\, both warps our understanding of Israel and Palestine and erases much of the nuance of Jewish religious tradition. After more than a year of Israel’s bombardment of Gaza—and the deployment of Jewish text and history to justify mass slaughter and starvation—Beinart insists that Jews must tell a new story. After this war\, whose horror will echo for generations\, they must offer a new answer to the question: What does it mean to be a Jew? \nA book signing will follow the discussion.
