The International Center For Journalists In The Digital Age

The International Center for Journalists was founded in 1984 by three veteran editors who sought to help jump start an independent press in emerging nations, including those emerging from home-grown dictatorship. Joyce Barnathan, the organization’s president for the last 12 years. is a former Moscow correspondent for Newsweek, and Hong-Kong-based Asia editor for Business Week. Broadcast/Podcast Committee member Irv Chapman interviews her on ICFJ's work around the world, from South Asia to South America. They discuss how the organization has changed its focus since the digital age dawned, how digital resources enable international investigative reporting, and the heroic journalists that ICFJ recognizes for doing their work under dangerous conditions.
