Presented by New America NYC and the Invisible Institute:
When does a journalist stop being a citizen? Coverage of the Occupy Wall Street Movement and the Arab Spring have recently highlighted this ethical dilemma, but journalistic paragon Edward R. Murrow grappled with it, too. Do members of the Fourth Estate have the right to publicly express their views at the barricades? Should they tend to the wounded and intervene in attacks/detention? What does it mean to be a fact-gathering reporter and also a commentary writer? Come meet a group of reporters who have experienced these challenges in their lives and work.
