Dig deeper with our Thought Exercise series. Hear from experts on urgent issues of our time, then join in on the discussion during a wide-ranging, interactive exchange. Today’s guest is multi-award-winning journalist, Barbara Demick (Nothing to Envy, Daughters of the Bamboo Grove), who has extensive experience covering authortitarian regimes in China and North Korea, and the unfolding political situation in America under Trump. Together, discuss how the rise of authoritarianism makes journalists’ role of providing good information both more perilous – and crucial. Chaired by Amina Shah.
