Conversation between Debra Tice and Christophe Deloire

The National Press Club Press Freedom Team will host a news conference with Debra Tice, mother of award winning journalist Austin Tice who has been held in Syria since 2012, and Christophe Deloire, Secretary General of RSF (Reporters Without Borders). They will discuss the role of press freedom in democracy and the case of Austin Tice in that context and will take questions.

The event is in person and guests may register here. Alternatively, there will be a live stream here. This event is open to credentialed journalists, members of the National Press Club and their guests. The National Press Club Press Freedom Team is organized by the Club along with the National Press Club Journalism Institute, the Club’s non-profit affiliate.

Mr. Deloire, who is based in Paris, is in Washington to participate in the Summit For Democracy. Mrs. Tice, who lives in Houston, is in DC for meetings related to her son’s case.
