Council on Foreign Relations Presents Edward R. Murrow Press Fellowship 60th Anniversary Event
The Ford Foundation sponsored the Edward R. Murrow Press Fellowship 60th anniversary celebration at the Council on Foreign Relations in September 2009. Our support of the event, which focused on the future of foreign reporting, builds on our longstanding commitment to advance public service media. We also support the Edward R. Murrow Press Fellowship and related activities that look at new models of international reporting.
The event began with opening remarks by CFR President Richard N. Haas. Four panel sessions —held between September 9 and 10— covered how technological advances have transformed international reporting, and navigating the challenges of a digital era without compromising the role of responsible journalism.
