International Center for Journalists featured on Update-1 podcast

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.

In the latest edition of the National Press Club's Update-1, Irv Chapman interviews her on ICFJ's work around the world, from South Asia to South America; how it has changed its focus since the digital age dawned and how digital resources enable international investigative reporting; and the heroic journalists it recognizes who do their work under dangerous conditions.

Update-1 is produced by Mike Hempen. The podcast can be heard on the Club website or on iTunes, Stitcher and TuneIn.
