Are the media relying too much on aid groups and NGOs to provide pictures and video of the world’s forgotten crises? Does it make no difference where they source their material? Does the public even know the difference? Should organizations be more diligent in telling the public where they source their material?
Join us as a panel of media experts and representatives from aid organizations, including MSF, explore these topics and others related to current journalistic practices.
Moderator
John Owen is Chairman of The Frontline Club and Professor at City University.
