This year’s annual lecture of the Walter Roberts Endowment, on Tuesday, December 6, will feature Jodie Ginsberg, president of the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ). Ginsberg took on the leadership role in April 2022, after years of experience as a journalist and media advocate. CPJ is an independent, nonprofit organization that promotes press freedom worldwide. The organization works to defend the rights of journalists to report the news safely and without fear of reprisal.
This year’s lecture will have Dean Alyssa Ayres of the Elliott School of International Affairs delivering introductory remarks and Silvio Waisbord, Director of the School of Media and Public Affairs moderating the Q&A session with the speaker. The Institute’s Director Dr. William Youmans will be welcoming all to the event.
