Media Practice in an Emergent World Order

The following images, videos and transcripts were taken during the Center for Media at Risk and CARGC’s symposium on December , 2019 at the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania. Thank you to all participants, interlocutors and the student steering committee for making this event a success! 


In the best of times, the safety and viability of media practice are in question and risks take on unpredictable and potentially savaging forms. But what happens when the existing world order abruptly changes?
