When: Thurs April 30th, 6-7:30pm
Where: Instituto Cervantes New York, 211–215 East 49th Street
(Directions: closest subway is 6 train at 51st St. or any train at 42nd St./Grand Central terminal)

About the panel: From the photographs taken at Abu Ghraib, to police torture videos from Cambodia and Egypt, to blogs and Facebook groups for hunger-striking activists in Saudi
Arabia, technology is affecting both who is reporting and what gets reported. What
will be the cumulative effect of this quiet revolution? We’ll hear stories from Iraq,
Europe, the United States, and intersections of all three.

Cosponsored by Instituto Cervantes and the Consulate General of Spain
