Medias role in forgotten crises
Have you heard about the war in Sudan that has now lasted for 1,5 years? The HIV epidemic in South Africa? The more than 150,000 refugees without access to latrines in the Dadaab refugee camp in Kenya?
Time: 2 October 2024 18:00 - 19:00 CET
As a part of Late Nights at the Nobel Peace Center, Students Without Borders invites five exciting panelists to discuss what it means for people in war to be able to document their lives, and what it does to us to have access to live-streamed crises around the clock.
In a time marked by war and conflict, where we carry the whole world in our pockets – what determines which crises we focus on? Doctors Without Borders’ motto is "More lives are saved when more people know." So how do Norwegian media outlets decide which crises to cover? Why are we reading less about both Ukraine and Palestine today than we did last year, and even more importantly; how do we ensure that attention doesn’t fade as conflicts continue?
The event will be held in norwegian. The doors will open at 17:30 and the programme starts at 18.00. The event is free, all you have to do is to sign up. Welcome!
