Hosted by the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania, the Center for Media @ Risk offers the chance to strategize in response to threatening political conditions. Knowing how media practitioners work under authoritarian regimes and circumstances of creeping authoritarianism can help free/defend/empower/protect/save the media. The Media @ Risk Podcast gives voice to these practitioners and the dilemmas they face when political threat undermines their activity. Its episodes provide a close and informed look at how practitioners in journalism, documentary, entertainment and digital environments recognize, accommodate, resist and respond to risk. We consider questions big and small, the unseen and unexplored, and probe how our ideas, beliefs and assumptions about expression vary across cultures and continents.
