Frontlines and Deadlines: Perspective on Conflict Reporting
(Academic)
Using some of his personal experiences as a photojournalist embedded with the "enemy" while covering the ethnic conflict in Sri Lanka, Tekwani will address the oft-repeated maxim that the First Casualty in War is Truth. Issues will range from ethics, reporting round the flag ("patriotic" journalism), the 'symbiotic relationship' between terrorism and the media and Photojournalism and Foreign Policy.
