The Stories They Tried to Silence | Buffett Conversation with Laurent Richard and Raney Aronson-Rath

Join the Medill School and Roberta Buffett Institute for a discussion with Laurent Richard, Founder and Executive Director of Forbidden Stories, a nonprofit news organization that protects the work of threatened journalists and pursues the investigations of reporters who have been silenced, and Raney Aronson-Rath, Editor-in-Chief and Executive Producer of FRONTLINE, PBS's flagship investigative journalism documentary series. In conversation with Buffett Distinguished Practitioner in Residence Kathy Im, Director of the MacArthur Foundation’s Journalism and Media program, Richard and Aronson-Rath will discuss the growing risks journalists face across the globe and their highly anticipated reporting collaboration, which includes over a dozen major media outlets, about US immigration and deportation policies and their impacts around the world. 

An hourlong reception will follow the program.
