In 2013, Nicholas Tsagourias presented his paper on Legal protection of journalists in dangerous situations.
Increasingly, journalists are being put in danger in their attempts to report from war zones, and in difficult areas. This, coupled with the rise of citizen journalists, has prompted a new era of danger for journalists, and new research must be conducted into how best to protect them.
In 2012, for our first Annual Lecture we were visited by Sadeq Saba, Head of BBC Persian Service, who gave a talk titled “Revisiting Freedom of Speech in the 21st Century”.
