Thomson Reuters Foundation invites journalists to apply to take part in a major three-day seminar in New York, United States, in May. Reporting on Terrorism – an international seminar on Global Security will be held at the Thomson Reuters building in Times Square and will bring together security experts, authoritative commentators and journalists for a series of lively debates and lectures.
The agenda will examine origins of terrorism, its manifestations and possible responses. The seminar will look critically at the role of the media and whether journalists inadvertently help terrorists achieve their goals. There will be sessions on how terrorists use the internet, the role of intelligence agencies, fragile states and a discussion of how the media can report on terrorist violence without spreading the very fear that the terrorists want to sow. Panels will be complemented by practical workshop exercises and a newsmaker session.
