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.
