Still on coming Sunday, but at 17.30, I am co-organising and moderating an online event on design and journalism. I have been working together with Marina Palacios
@palacios.2020 from
@freepressunltd on organising this event around the theme of “Design and the Silencing of Journalists”. Free Press Unlimited runs the “VIMES” program, which aims at supporting and creating connections between independent media and journalists working in Latin America and Eastern Europe. The conditions for freedom of speech and freedom of press are very difficult in these regions, and multiple actors exert pressures on the media who try to do their job. Over the past three weeks, we had two online sessions where designers and journalists met and discussed possible ways to act differently in these contexts. The event will bring some of the people who joined the sessions to talk about what is the context in Latin America and Eastern Europe in which journalists work, why design and journalism can do something together, and what preliminary ideas emerged from the discussions.
