    Screening and Discussion: Breaking News, Breaking Down

    5:00 PM

    In Seattle, a screening of "Breaking News, Breaking Down," followed by a discussion with award-winning journalist and Dart Ochberg Fellow Mike Walter. The event is sponsored by Dart Center West and the Center for Global Studies.

    "Breaking News, Breaking Down," winner of the 2010 Cannes Independent Film Festival, is a revealing look at how journalists continually go after breaking news, from 9-11 to Katrina, never imagining the personal toll of reporting tragic events. This screening of the film will be followed by a discussion with journalist Mike Walter, the film's creator.

    About Mike Walter: Before starting his own production company, Mike Walter anchored the morning news at WUSA in Washington, D.C.; was a senior correspondent at USA Today; and has been an anchor and reporter in Tampa, Kansas City, St. Louis and Columbus, Ohio. A winner of four Emmy Awards, Walter is an adjunct professor at the University of Maryland. Read more about Mike here.
