Industry: Take on Journalism & Censorship

The recent times have taught us that independent journalism and filmmaking is under severe threat; by censorship, war and political instability. More journalists were killed in 2024 than in any other year since the Committee to Protect Journalists began collecting data more than three decades ago. How can you stay true to your profession when death threats, possible imprisonment or exile loom over you? How much space is there for those stories that inform people of the current state of affairs?

A thought-provoking panel for all aspiring journalists, filmmakers and changemakers, with Jihan El-Tahri (curator, Digidocs – Aljazeera Digital), Ruth Kronenburg (Executive Director, Free Press Unlimited), Santiago Maza Stern (director of State of Silence) and Jeanne Maksymenko-Dovhych (representative of the Ukrainian delegation). Moderation by Margje de Koning.
