"Murder in Our Midst"- A live SPJ online event
Imagine a different news world: no perp walk videos, no suspect names, no family interviews.
What may seem to some American journalists like alternate-reality fiction is everyday reality for some of our counterparts in other parts of the world.
In our free live Zoom event 7 p.m. Thursday evening, hear directly from two authors who spoke with nearly 200 journalists and media experts in 10 countries -- comparing crime reporting practices in North America and Western Europe.
"Murder in Our Midst :
Comparing Crime Coverage Ethics in an Age of Globalized News."
Maggie Jones Patterson of Duquesne University & Romayne Smith Fullerton of Western University of Ontario share insights and recount conversations with reporters about stories that show how concepts like Privacy, what's Public, the Right To Know, and Justice actually vary in fellow democracies. "The Protectors," "The Watchdogs," "The Ambivalents" -- how do we differ, and what values do we share?

Presented by the Pittsburgh Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists, SPJ
