A Tribute to Anthony Shadid
In February 2012, Anthony Shadid, a UW journalism alumnus and foreign reporter for The New York Times, died from health complications while crossing the Syrian border. In his honor and memory, the CJE will devote the final session of its conference to Mr. Shadid as a person and a journalist. The session will be a tribute to the life and work of Mr. Shadid and the values that informed his journalism. Part of the session will be a discussion on foreign reporting today – the new challenges that foreign reporters face as they seek to inform a global public.
Speakers will include
Katy Culver, UW-Madison friend and colleague

Kayla Johnson, editor-in-chief, The Daily Cardinal
