November 01, 2019Global Journalist: Overtourism on the RiseGlobal tourism is a booming industry. But in a growing number of places around the world, the surge in tourism is too much of a good thing. Venice has been depopulated as year-round residents have fled its historic canals – where they’re now vastly outnumbered by tourists. In the Philippines, the once pristine beaches of the country’s famed Boracay Island were closed for months recently to allow them to recover from the effects of 6 million annual visitors. In Amsterdam, the crowds are so bad...more29minPlay

Phone and internet links were cut and the local press silenced. The move followed an Aug. 5 decision by India’s Hindu nationalist government to strip the Himalayan region of some of its autonomy. On this edition of Global Journalist, a look inside Kashmir's communications blackout and and the way the current crisis is both escalating tensions with Pakistan...more29minPlay
October 18, 2019Global Journalist: The Expanding Right to Be ForgottenPicture the most humiliating experience of your life. Now imagine that this awful moment was captured on video by someone else and posted online where anyone could access it just by Googling your name. This scenario is reality for a growing number of people, and has given rise to the concept of a “Right to Be Forgotten” – the idea that individuals should have some measure of control over personal information or images of them on the internet. Since 2014, the European Union has given this idea...more29minPlay
October 11, 2019Global Journalist: Western Sahara's Forgotten ConflictForty-four years after Spain pulled its colonial forces out, the people of Western Sahara are still waiting for independence. Much of the territory is controlled by Morocco and about half the indigenous Sahrawi languish in refugee camps in neighboring Algeria. Yet outside the region, there's little news coverage as Morocco has effectively blocked most independent reporting from territory. On this edition of Global Journalist, a look at the Western Sahara conflict and how it has been shaped by...more29minPlay
October 08, 2019Global Journalist: New York Times' Top Editor Addresses Trump ControversiesFrom the New York Times' reluctance to use the word "lie" or "racist" to describe statements by President Trump to what the news outlet has learned from its coverage of the 2016 election, Executive Editor Dean Baquet speaks candidly about the controversies and achievements of his five-year tenure leading the Times' newsroom.

September 27, 2019Global Journalist: South Africa's Xenophobia ProblemSouth Africa's wealth and stability has drawn millions of migrants from elsewhere in Africa. Yet migration has tested the Rainbow Nation's unity and values. In recent weeks the country has been the scene of deadly mob attacks against immigrants from other African nations. Earlier this month, twelve people were killed and thousands forced from their homes in a wave of mob violence targeting immigrants. This kind of violence has happened periodically for more than a decade now - and many of South...more29minPlay
September 20, 2019Global Journalist: China's Surveillance StateWith a mix of new technology and old fashioned snooping, China has built an extraordinary system of mass surveillance to monitor its Uighur minority. From collecting DNA samples to tracking religious habits and even individual electricity use, China appears to be building a vast security database to control the 13 million Uighurs that live in its western Xinjiang province. On this edition of Global Journalist, a look at the vast surveillance program that underpins China's "Strike Hard Against...more29minPlay
September 13, 2019Global Journalist: Journalists Seeking Asylum Face U.S. DetentionOnce a refuge for foreign journalists fleeing repression at home, the U.S. risks losing that status. Like other migrants, journalists who come to the U.S. seeking safety are much more likely to wind up in prisons or federal detention centers - sometimes for months - as their immigratiom cases are considered. Their claims are also being heard by immigration courts that are much more likely to deny asylum requests than they were even a few years ago. On this edition of Global Journalist, a look at...more29minPlay
