May 27, 2020 – What are the global consequences of censoring journalists during a pandemic – and what danger does this pose to civil liberties? Join Thomson Reuters Foundation CEO Antonio Zappulla and Joel Simon, the Executive Director of the Committee to Protect Journalists as they discuss the impact government response to COVID-19 is having on the press’ ability to report freely.
TC Talks was launched to provide a digital platform to world-renowned experts and change makers who would otherwise have held the stage at our annual event, Trust Conference, which has been postponed due to the Coronavirus pandemic. Episodes will air on YouTube every month, and will explore the most pressing human rights issues, from media freedom, to climate change, to social justice.
Trust Conference is the Thomson Reuters Foundation’s flagship annual event and a world-leading human rights forum. Held in the heart of London each year, the conference brings together some 600 delegates from diverse sectors representing more than 60 countries.
