March 20, 2014 – Sierra Leone’s civil war drove Amara Bangura into hiding – but it also drove him to launch a career as a radio journalist. Today, Amara sees journalism as a powerful tool for development around the world… when it’s used responsibly.
Aga Khan Foundation Canada and Journalists for Human Rights (JHR) are pleased to co-present an evening in conversation with Amara, now part of the BBC Media Action team and the Gordon N. Fisher/JHR William Southam Journalism Fellow at Massey College in Toronto. He will discuss the many roles media can play in the developing world – both contributing to the causes of war and repairing societies when the fighting stops – as well as what Canadian reporters can learn from journalists around the globe. The discussion will be moderated by Alison Crawford, national reporter in CBC’s parliamentary bureau.
Thursday, March 20, 2014 – 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm – The Delegation of the Ismaili Imamat, 199 Sussex Drive, Ottawa, ON, K1N 1K6
