Who should tell stories about conflict?
Event description
The UTS Centre for Media Transition and the International Committee of the Red Cross are coming together again for 'Who should tell stories about conflict?'
From when we first hear a breaking news story to decades after fighting has ended, the stories told about conflict can shape how we think about impacted communities and countries. Journalists and humanitarians are often the first people on the ground and have a responsibility to tell stories from the frontline with accuracy and fairness.
In this panel, we delve into the complexities, ethics and responsibility that comes with conflict reporting.
Our panellists include:
Anthony Galloway
Anthony is a political correspondent for The Sun-Herald and The Sunday Age. He recently reported from the Ukraine for The Sydney Morning Herald.
Dr Kathryn Greenman
Kathryn joined UTS Law as a lecturer in June 2019 and is now a senior lecturer. Kathryn's research looks at the relationship between the economic and the humanitarian in international law.
Yaara Bou Melhem
A journalist and documentary filmmaker whose work has received two UN Media Peace Awards, two New York Film & Television Festival Awards and five Walkley Awards.
Marwa Moeen
A young woman who came from Afghanistan to Australia after fleeing from the Taliban. Marwa has a scholarship to study at UTS and will start in 2023.
Chair: Dr Sacha Molitorisz, UTS Senior Lecturer in Law
