Then it was the subject of intense media coverage and an unprecedented campaign of grassroots citizen activism. Then it was ignored again. The only constant? The suffering of the people of Darfur. Please join us and a panel of distinguished journalists for a discussion of media coverage of Darfur over the past 10 years, how citizen activists and governments in Khartoum and Washington influenced reporting, and lessons to be learned.   Introductory remarks: Ambassador Dane F. Smith, former U.S. Senior Advisor on Darfur Moderated by: Jon Sawyer, Executive Director of the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting Panel: James Copnall, Rebecca Hamilton, Isma’il Kushkush, and Emily Wax Reception will follow the panel. Seating is limited.

Believing the story they had been told that U.S. failure in Rwanda could have been changed by the outcry of an engaged American populace, they imagined that their outcry marked the dividing line between life and death for Darfuris. The mass movement advocacy model tested out on Darfur had some clear victories that leaders in other issue areas might wish to emulate. But their advocacy also set up some perverse consequences that should be thought through before embarking on the mass movement approach. Rebecca Hamilton, a reporter who has written extensively on Darfur and the author of Fighting for Darfur: Public Action and the Struggle to Stop Genocide, will share her thoughts and experiences. Rachel Davis will moderate the discussion.
