SUMMARY:Reporting at a Crossroads: National Security\, Democracy\, and the Challenges to a Free Press
DESCRIPTION: \n  \nA free and independent press has long been understood as a core element of healthy and secure democracies. Particularly in the realm of national security and foreign policy\, news reporting and investigations are an integral source of information that enables the American public to evaluate the decisions of their elected officials. Yet today the press is facing new or newly acute challenges arising from the executive branch\, Congress\, and even the media industry itself—all unfolding against the backdrop of an already-siloed and mistrustful information landscape. \nWhat is it like to lead a newsroom and report on national security issues today? Which legal issues are top of mind for media and free speech lawyers and scholars? What are the most pressing challenges and opportunities? Please join the Reiss Center on Law and Security and Just Security for a discussion with frontline experts. \nEvent Details\nMonday\, May 18\, 2026\n1:00–2:00 p.m. EST\nVirtual Event \n  \nRegister Here\n  \nSpeakers\n\nRebecca Hamilton\, Professor of Law\, American University Washington College of Law\nDavid McCraw\, Senior Vice President and Deputy General Counsel\, The New York Times\nBen Pauker\, National Security Editor\, The Washington Post\nNancy Youssef\, Staff Writer\, The Atlantic\nKate Brannen (Moderator)\, Non-Resident Journalism Fellow\, Reiss Center on Law and Security\n\n\n\n\n
