HUMAN RIGHTS AND THE MEDIA
Global Rights invites you to a discussion with Judy Woodruff, Sanford Ungar, Benjamin Wittes, and Frank Smyth
WHEN:
Wednesday, March 15th, 2006
12:00-2:00 pm
A light lunch will be available
WHERE:
Global Rights
1200 18th Street, NW, Suite 602
Washington, DC
(Metro Stops: Farragut North or Dupont Circle)
WHY:
How can coverage of human rights success stories be encouraged? Why are attacks on journalists around the world increasing? How can we asses the role played by media in exposing the human rights abuses in countries like Uzbekistan or Sudan? How do we balance freedom of speech and respect for other cultures, and avoid the conflict we have seen over the Danish cartoons? Should media withhold stories at the request of an Administration?
SPACE IS LIMITED
