How does a democracy balance an elected government's responsibility to keep us safe, and the role of a free press to hold power to account? Who gets to decide what we should and shouldn't know?
JNI's Lisa Main will be joined by Annika Smethurst, The Age's political editor whose home was raided by the Australian Federal Police in 2019 after she published a story for News Corp about government surveillance of citizens, and Dennis Richardson, one of Australia's most distinguished public servants, whose career spanned a variety of the most senior roles in Australia's national security community.
About the series
Raided. Detained. Cancelled. A three-part digital event series exploring the different ways journalists can be silenced.
There always seems to be someone who doesn't want a journalist to get a story out. Dictators stifling dissent. Governments protecting national security. Or the mob on social media forcing journalists off the page or even out of their jobs.
Raided, Detained, Cancelled focuses on the most challenging moment in any journalist's career: the moment when they might pay for a story legally, financially, professionally or even, in some cases, with their lives.
Join us for a series of live online conversations featuring journalists with first-hand experiences of being raided, detained or cancelled. We will hear their stories but also explore the reasons journalists are silenced, whether these efforts really work, and how journalists in different contexts around the world respond.
