Reporting on a Revolution: Independent media perspectives from Burma event : Webinar Share Print Click here to register Far from the world's gaze, the people of Burma are resisting a military dictatorship that is violently attacking civilians. Despite intense threats to their own security, journalists and independent media outlets have been steadfast in documenting atrocities and keeping local communities informed.

On March 13 at 8:30 am EDT, join Inter Pares and Carleton University's School of Journalism and Communication for an insightful panel interview that explores independent media's critical role.
