SUMMARY:Is It Our Fault?
DESCRIPTION:Is the partisan rancor and political violence that has consumed our discussions of the upcoming elections the news media’s fault? How ready is the press to address the racism\, misogyny\, and other biases in the political discourse?   \n\n\n\n\n\n\nPhoto (left to right): M. Gessen; Karen Attiah; Kovie Biakolo; and Rick Perlstein. \nDistinguished Professor M. Gessen and Karen Attiah\, columnist for The Washington Post\, will be joined by journalists and media analysts to ask — how can we claw back credibility among the public? Gessen and Attiah will be joined by Rick Perlstein\, author of a best-selling series of histories on the rise of conservatism in the U.S.\, and a contributor to publications including the Nation\, Village Voice\, The New York Times\, and\, currently\, The American Prospect. The conversation will be moderated by Kovie Biakolo\, director of arts and culture reporting at Newmark. \nThis event is sponsored by the Newmark J-School.

SUMMARY:Covering Elections Series: Part 1
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\nProtecting Whistleblowers in High-Stakes Reporting\nCo-sponsored by The Signals Network \nThere is hardly a more complex relationship than the one between a journalist and a whistleblower. For journalists the obligation to report with integrity while protecting sources takes on even more critical importance during an election year.   \nThis unique conversation will feature John Carreyrou\, investigative journalist who broke the Theranos story\, and Erika Cheung\, one of the key whistleblowers in that case. They will be joined by Margaux Ewen\, deputy legal director of The Signals Network. Panelists will use the Theranos case as a springboard to discuss the potential impact of whistleblowers\, the heightened risks around elections\, and the ethical considerations journalists must navigate. The conversation with be moderated by Joel Simon\, founding director of the Journalism Protection Initiative.
