The Limits of Investigative Journalism
- Where: Václav Havel Library, Ostrovní 13, Prague 110 00
- When: March 26, 2019, 19:00 – 21:00
An annual event bringing together winners of the Ferdinand Peroutka Prize at the Václav Havel Library. This year’s edition features fresh recipients of the award Ondřej Kundra, from the weekly Respekt, and Jaroslav Kmenta, from the magazine Reportér.
The focus will be investigative journalism both in the present and in recent years. Is the role of such reporters changing? Are conditions improving for uncovering facts that politicians and state officials would prefer to keep secret? And how have opportunities for this kind of journalism changed since Czech oligarchs and businessmen bought the country’s major media houses? Is it better to write for small independent outlets or to have the protection of large publishers?
Evening hosted by Martin Groman, chairman of the Ferdinand Peroutka Society.
