Danger to Democracy
More than 220 enthusiasts tuned in to this thematic program on January 17 at Pakhuis de Zwijger. A global political trend toward authoritarianism threatens the democratic culture that sustains free and independent media. Political actors and their media supporters are narrowing the cultural space for journalists and photographers. What can and should you do?
