On the Frontlines of the Free Press with Forbidden Stories’ Laurent Richard


Listen Later

Since its founding in 2017, Forbidden Stories has delivered a powerful message: killing the journalist won’t kill the story. This Emmy-winning global network of journalists is committed to continuing the work of their colleagues who face threats, imprisonment, or have been murdered. In this episode, Laurent Richard, founder and executive director of Forbidden Stories, shares the origins of this groundbreaking initiative, inspired by his own investigative work and the urgent need to protect press freedom.


We also discuss Forbidden Stories’ partnership with the Columbia Global Paris Center, including public panel discussions with journalists focused on their latest investigations, The Gaza Project and The Baku Connection
