WHEN: November 17, 2020 (TUESDAY) at 1pm EDT
HOW: Online | Limited Capacity | RSVP Required
During this workshop, Adam B. Ellick will discuss with foreign correspondents and offer his insights on:
-How he uses DNA from his days as a foreign correspondent in the team he invented and now runs at NYT opinion, which is not field reporting, but he still borrows from that foreign experience mindset.
-He will share his stories from his years overseas, reflections from Pakistan, Afghanistan, Russia, Indonesia, Africa, and he will discuss how his experience as a foreign correspondent reflects now in his work while working from the U.S., his home country.
-He will talk about his most significant three projects in recent years: OPERATION INFEKTION, and EQUAL PLAY, and NORTH KOREA.
