SUMMARY:How to Report on Liars and Haters
DESCRIPTION:In the past 10 years\, we’ve seen how international conflicts and civil strife have been stoked by populists and autocrats who use lies and frame information to ignite support for their side. They also claim that every dissenting opinion is deliberate propaganda. How should journalists act in this context? Do they have successful strategies to discern the truth? Can facts be powerful enough to oppose hatred? A conversation with Andrea Bernstein\, Andrew Marantz\, Masha Gessen\, and Wesley Lowery\, moderated by Peter Beinart. \nThis event is co-sponsored by the Russian Independent Media Archive (RIMA). \n\n

SUMMARY:Small Acts of Courage: A book talk with Ali Velshi
DESCRIPTION:A captivating family history that illustrates how small actions can have an outsized political impact \nMore than a century ago\, MSNBC host Ali Velshi’s great-grandfather sent his seven-year-old son to live at Tolstoy Farm\, Gandhi’s ashram in South Africa. This difficult decision would change the trajectory of his family history forever. \nIn Small Acts of Courage: A Legacy of Endurance and the Fight for Democracy (St. Martin’s Press; On-sale: May 7\, 2024)\, Velshi takes us from his childhood\, where his grandfather was imbued with an ethos of public service and social justice\, and a belief in absolute equality among all people — ideals that his children carried forward as they escaped apartheid\, to emigrating to Kenya and ultimately Canada and the United States. \nThe book taps into Velshi’s 125 years of family history to advocate for social justice as a living\, breathing experience—a way of life more than an ideology. He relates the stories of regular people who made a lasting commitment to fight for change\, even when success seemed impossible. This heartfelt exploration of how we can breathe new life into the principles of pluralistic democracy is an urgent call to action—for progress to be possible\, we must all do whatever we can to make a difference. \nJoin us on May 10 for a book talk on Small Acts of Courage with author Ali Velshi and Yoruba Richen\, associate professor and director of Newmark J-School’s documentary program. \nAli Velshi is an award-winning journalist\, host of “Velshi”\, Chief Correspondent for MSNBC\, and a weekly economics contributor to NPR’s “Here And Now.” He has covered multiple U.S. Midterm and Presidential elections and significant news stories around the globe\, including extensive reporting from Ukraine and across Central and Eastern Europe during the Russian invasion\, the Syrian refugee crisis from Turkey and Jordan\, the Iran Nuclear Deal in Tehran\, the Greek debt crisis in Athens\, and the funeral of Nelson Mandela in South Africa. He hosts the “Velshi Banned Book Club” on MSNBC\, and the “Velshi Banned Book Club” podcast. Velshi is known for his immersive on-the-ground reporting and his interactive discussions with small groups\, which form part of his ongoing series\, Velshi Across America. He previously worked as an anchor and correspondent for Al Jazeera America and CNN. Born in Nairobi and raised in Toronto\, Velshi holds a degree in Religion and an honorary Doctorate of Laws from Canada’s Queen’s University. He serves on the boards of the National Constitution Center\, the Chicago History Museum\, the X-Prize Foundation\, and the Philadelphia Citizen. Velshi is the author of Gimme My Money Back and The Trump Indictments\, co-author of How to Speak Money and the upcoming Open Space (2025). Velshi has been nominated for multiple Emmy Awards and is the recipient of two National Headliner Awards and a Society of Professional Journalists Sigma Delta Chi Award. He is a member of Newmark J-School’s foundation board.

SUMMARY:AAPI Media: Resilience and Rebirth
DESCRIPTION:One hundred years ago this month\, the U.S. passed the Immigration Act of 1924 (the Johnson-Reed Act)\, which banned all immigration to the U.S. from Asia. As we commemorate this dark chapter in U.S. history\, Asian American communities again face xenophobic rhetoric and policies similar to the pre-Johnson-Reed era. \nPlease join us in conversation with three Asian American news media leaders serving communities that have been targeted by xenophobic violence and policies in the past – and which face similar threats today: Denver’s Chinatown\, destroyed in 1880 by a racist mob; New York City’s Little Syria\, destroyed in 1946 by immigration policies and urban planning; and Los Angeles’ Little Tokyo\, targeted by Executive Order 9066\, mandating the forced removal of Japanese Americans during WW2. \nHow does inflammatory rhetoric in the run-up to the 2024 election mirror the pre-Johnson-Reed era? How are Asian American publishers navigating rising discrimination from Sinophobic property bans to anti-Arab censorship\, and what lessons can we learn from the survival and resilience of earlier AAPI news media? \nIf you have any questions\, contact Kavitha at kavitha.rajagopalan@journalism.cuny.edu. \nRegister for “AAPI Media: Resilience and Rebirth” \n\nPanelists \n\nAnnie Guo VanDan (she/her/hers) is the co-founder and president of Asian Avenue magazine\, a monthly publication that lifts up the stories of Denver’s Asian communities. She is also the executive director of the nonprofit Colorado Asian Culture and Education Network\, where she works to create equitable spaces and opportunities for Asian American Pacific Islanders. Born in Taipei\, Taiwan\, her family immigrated to Denver in 1988. She is a graduate of the University of Missouri – Columbia’s journalism school and a Maynard 200 Fellow\, a fellowship program for journalists of color. \nAdnan Khalil is publisher and editor-in-chief of Al Hawadeth for Arab Americans\, a monthly Arabic-language newspaper in New York City and New Jersey. He was born in Jordan to Palestinian refugees\, and enjoyed a career as a banking strategic planner and trade union leader before immigrating to the U.S. in 2013. He launched Al Hawadeth the same year. He holds a BSc in physics and sociology from the University of Jordan. \nMichael Komai is publisher of Rafu Shimpo\, a bilingual Japanese-English daily newspaper based in Los Angeles\, California’s Little Tokyo neighborhood. Komai is the third-generation publisher of the newspaper\, which has published continuously since 1903 – except during the forcible internment of Japanese Americans during World War II. \n\nThe Center for Community Media’s Asian Media Initiative is the first national program dedicated to building visibility and sustainability in in-language and community-based news media for and by Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in the U.S. Launched in 2022\, the AMI published the first national AAPI Media Map & Directory in December 2023.
