Yousur Al-Hlou and Masha Froliak
Inve
stigative Journalists
Investigative journalism\, by necessity\, invol ves negotiation. Journalists must negotiate both internally with themselves and externally with sources\, editors\, and other stakeholders on many que stions: How to access important and sensitive sources? How to persuade indi viduals to engage\;? How to structure an interview to build trust in order to gather information? How to engage multiple narratives in the reporting? How to both prepare meticulously and remain open and curious? And what\, pa rticularly in the context of reporting on crimes in conflict zones\, are th e implications of journalistic frameworks on notions of blame and culpabili ty?
Al-Hlou and Froliak will discuss their work creating visual inves tigations at The New York Times\, with a particular focus on the war in Ukr aine. Join us to gain a deeper insight into how these important and compell ing pieces are produced\, and how the fields of journalism and negotiation can learn from and enrich one another.
