Protecting Truth, Seeking Justice

In the information age, narratives – true and fake – spread rapidly, while activists are finding how it presents new opportunities and challenges for their voice to be heard.

But what does this era of immediate – and often overwhelming - information mean for the search for the truth about what happens in our world? And how is it influencing the nature of activism?

In this special edition of the Education City Speaker Series, jointly organized with Al Jazeera Media Network, we welcome Lina Abu Akleh, a Palestinian social justice advocate campaigning for justice for her aunt Shireen Abu Akleh – killed while reporting on an Israeli military raid in Palestine – to explore these topics, and why journalists who tell the world’s story must be protected.
