Every year CFOM and the School of Journalism, Media and Communication at the University of Sheffield organise International Journalism Week (IJW). IJW aims to reinforce CFOM’s educational goals by inviting young and future journalists from within the department to attend a series of talks by practitioners, researchers and educators and participate in a series of activities and workshops over the course of the week.
International Journalism Week took place from 4-7 November 2024 and this year’s focus was on Journalism in the times of global unrest. CFOM hosted a panel event to commemorate International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists (IDEI) which focused on three perspectives on journalism in a time of unrest. The panel was moderated by CFOM’s International Director, William Horsley, and was opened by CFOM Chair and UNESCO Chair on Media Freedom, Journalism Safety and the Issue of Impunity, Professor Jackie Harrison.
