Audio: Conflict Journalism and Surviving Kidnap

By Stan Alcorn

Last month in Bonn, Germany, news media, intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations, politicians, artists, entrepreneurs and scientists from all over the world came together to discuss conflict in a multimedia age. The Dart Center organized panels on "The Trauma Factor:  The Missing Ingredient in Conflict Journalism" and "Surviving Kidnap"; You now can download or listen online to the audio.
