To commemorate World Press Freedom Day, Newspapers Canada is partnering with the Canadian Committee for World Press Freedom and the Canadian Association of Journalists to host a special luncheon event during the INK+BEYOND conference in Ottawa. Keynote speaker Charles Sennott, an award-winning, Boston-based journalist and media entrepreneur, will give a compelling presentation on "Ground Truth in a Digital Age." After a uniquely dangerous year for international reporting, Sennott will explain why journalists must renew their commitment to on-the-ground reporting.
