The Three Cultures Foundation, the Ministry of Moroccans Resident Abroad and ‘Mediterráneo Sur’ are organising this meeting. Seville, 20 and 21 November.
The meeting Standing firm. Conflict information in the digital age. The Arab Spring, it will reflect on how to practise war journalism in the 21st century at a time when old – and endless – global conflicts coexist with new battlegrounds such as those that have opened up in the wake of the Arab Spring across the Mediterranean.
The conference aims to showcase the best of the old and new guard of conflict zone journalism from a very practical perspective. Alongside the lectures, there will be workshops to work in small groups on key elements of this fascinating profession: the tricks, the pitfalls, and all the essential baggage required to practise conflict journalism. These workshops will be led by professors from the Faculty of Communication in Seville, such as Aurora Labio and Antonio López Hidalgo.
Veterans and new names in what is known as ‘war journalism’ will gather in Seville to analyse the essential role of journalism in rescuing the truth amidst violence and disinformation. On how to be a war reporter and not die trying: avoiding falling to enemy bullets or victims of so-called ‘friendly fire’. Nor dying of success. This gathering, which will be coordinated by the journalist and writer Alejandro Luque, will feature, among other speakers, Carmen Rengel, Emilio Morenatti, Ilya U. Topper, Enric González, Nabil Driouch, Nuria Tesón and Tomás Alcoverro.
