Righting wrongs: an interview with Ken Roth

Ken Roth changed the face of modern human rights reporting during his tenure as executive director of Human Rights Watch (HRW). His leadership and courage in the field of war reporting and documentation of atrocities has been an inspiration for generations of journalists who have integrated HRW reports into their journalism. HRW field methodology can also be used by journalists investigating atrocities.
For reporters working in the human rights field today, how best to operate in a world that is seeing a reduction in human rights? With the rise of right-wing governments in the US, Israel, Romania, Hungary, El Salvador, Argentina, Holland, how do we up our reporting skills in the face of increasing threats to democracy?
Ken Roth will be interviewed by Janine di Giovanni.
