At late night on Wednesday, October 2, Studenter Uten Grenser invites five exciting panelists to discuss what it means for people in war to be able to document their lives and what it does to us to have access to live-streamed crises around the clock.
In a time marked by war and conflict, where we carry the whole world in our pocket - what determines which crises we direct our attention to? Doctors Without Borders' motto is 'Fewer die when more know.' So how do Norwegian media houses decide which crises to cover? Why do we read less about both Ukraine and Palestine today than last year, and more importantly; how do we ensure that attention does not fade as conflicts persist?
