Independent reporting is increasingly relevant - and risky. Join international freelancers and editors to talk about everything from pitching your stories while on the road to staying safe in a conflict zone.
This half-day workshop, co-sponsored by the MCDM, will focus on the opportunities opening up to freelancers (with a focus on international freelancing), the specific dangers and risks that unaffiliated reporters endure in this new climate of international reporting and the unique ethical complications and challenges of international reporting (especially when on your own).
The workshop will be led by Common Language Project journalists Sarah Stuteville, Alex Stonehill, and Jessica Partnow, in addition to the Seattle Times Assistant Managing Editor Jim Simon, MCDM Director Hanson Hosein, and Seattle based international radio freelancer Jake Warga, who is currently preparing for a solo embed tour of Iraq in December.
The event is co-sponsored by the MCDM. Pizza lunch served at 1pm.
Open to all University of Washington students.
Cost: FREE!
