June 2-4 2008 - Journalists in the Crosshairs -
Posted on: Sun, 27 Apr 2008 13:21:00 +0000
The Deutsche Welle Global Media Forum from June 2-4, 2008, at the World Conference Center in Bonn offers participants a range of interesting workshops. One of the workshops, which takes place on the second day of the conference (June 3), looks at "Covering Hostile Environments - From Conflict Zones to Organized Crime." The workshop is being organized by the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ).
CPJ is a New York-based non-governmental organization (NGO). It collects information about damages to the freedom of the press worldwide, especially on the intimidation and murder of journalists. The committee was founded in 1981 by a group of American foreign correspondents. CPJ?s executive committee includes well-known journalists like Christiane Amanpour and Dan Rather.
Workshop participants Marcelo Moreira from TV Globo in Rio de Janeiro and Stefano Marcelli from Italy will provide personal experiences to explain just how dangerous reporting on crisis situations and crime can be. Moreira and Marcelli are renown investigative journalists who have reported on the mafia, organized crime, drug cartels, wars and terrorism for many years. Reporting on the illegal transportation of hazardous waste led to Marcellis imprisonment in Nigeria.
The assault on Lebanese TV journalist May Chidiac also caused a stir internationally, as she was a victim of a bombing following her coverage of the political crisis in Lebanon. She lost her left leg and part of her left arm.
The workshop at the Deutsche Welle Global Media Forum will also show how journalists can reduce the personal risks related to reporting on conflicts and crime.
