Reporting in war times is one of the most challenging, yet important tasks journalists face. In the fog of war, it often depends on the courage of very few journalists to ensure independent reporting, and guarantee that the truth is brought to daylight. We will discuss the difficulties of reporting about war in light of the Russian war of aggression in Ukraine, consider differences among German, American and Ukrainian audiences, as well as the personal safety, physical and mental health of reporters in war zones.

With Paul Ronzheimer, Katrin Eigendorf, and Yana Lyushnevskaya, moderated by Sarah Scire
