In conflict and crisis, journalists put themselves in peril to bring news to the world. With journalists being killed and imprisoned in record numbers, the Newseum presents a special program examining these threats and the rise of new strategies by terrorists and governments to suppress information.
Moderated by “PBS NewsHour” managing editor Judy Woodruff, the program will feature a conversation with Diane Foley, mother of photojournalist James Foley, who was killed by Islamic State militants in August 2014, and Debra Tice, mother of freelance journalist Austin Tice, who has been missing since he was taken captive in Syria in August 2012.
The evening also will include a discussion on the growing threats to journalists worldwide, the role of freelancers and local reporters, and the rise of hostage taking. Panelists include Douglas Frantz, U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Public Affairs; Kathleen Carroll, executive editor for the Associated Press; and Joel Simon, executive director of the Committee to Protect Journalists.
The program is co-sponsored by the Newseum and the Committee to Protect Journalists.
The program was introduced by Peter Prichard, chairman and CEO, Newseum.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
