Main ApplicationProject Title* Name of Project.

Support for Journalism under Fire - From Pandemic to Climate Change

Project Description* At the third annual Journalism under Fire conference staged by the Santa Fe Council on International

Relations (CIR) in November 2020, we will explore the key question of "How can we capture climate change?" This year, the conference will feature two distinct components: in Santa Fe, a small group of speakers and a socially distanced audience (including journalists, students, and members of the public) will offer their answers to this question; and then a much larger virtual component will engage a global cross-section of speakers and participants. In Santa Fe, a professional video team will capture speaker contributions for global broadcast; other speakers, including Greta Thunburg and Vice President Al Gore [both currently entertaining invitations], will contribute ideas and answers from their own locales. All participants will interact with speakers through dedicated Q&A sessions and unique parallel sessions.

https://nmhumanities.org/NMHC.php?p=183



We will feature two distinct types of speakers. The first will be leading photojournalists from national and local news outlets who will show and explain their photographs of climate change from around the world. The second will be speakers who can connect the dots between: climate change and migration; climate change and food security; and climate change and international relations. Crucially, we will also dedicate significant time to exploring lessons learned from the current pandemic, and how this can inform our response to climate change.

As we've recently decided to change the nature of the conference to a predominantly virtual conference, we are now inviting speakers (which is a very different type of ask). Given our strong track record from the previous two journalism conferences, we are extremely confident that, given the new focus, we'll be able to secure world-class speakers to the event. We do have formal confirmations from the following to attend the conference in-person in Santa Fe:

Project Narrative1. What is planned?* Describe project plan and indicate which parts of project any NMHC award will fund.

With partial funding from this grant, the Santa Fe Council on International Relations (CIR) will stage our third annual Journalism under Fire conference in November 2020. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, we'll stage a very different event this year. First, we'll convene a small group of speakers and audience members to serve as the "core" of the conference, with appropriate social distancing and other precautions. Presentations from this core will then be broadcast around the world, to CIR and the US State Department's network of thousands of international visitors, to global networks of climate-change activists, and to networks of journalists. Second, we'll feature voices from around the world, presenting to the conference from their own locale.

As above, this year we'll explore the key question of "How can we capture climate change?" We'll emphasize audience interaction in particular, creating sessions for speakers to liaise directly with the public through dedicated Q&A sessions and unique parallel sessions. The conference will feature two distinct types of humanities speakers. The first will be leading photojournalists from national and local news outlets who will show and explain their photographs of climate change from around the world. The second will be speakers who can connect the dots between: climate change and migration; climate change and food security; and climate change and international relations. Crucially, we will also dedicate significant time to exploring lessons learned from the current pandemic, and how this can inform our response to climate change.

The conference will be offered in partnership with the Committee to Protect Journalists and the American Society of Media Photographers.

This NMHC award will help CIR defray some key organizational costs. This includes: support for national journalists to fly to Santa Fe to be part of the conference's "core"; support for the audio-visual recording and broadcasting of the event; support for students and classrooms to virtually attend; support for marketing the event locally and regionally (especially as we just lost a marketing grant from TOURISM Santa Fe due to the pandemic). A portion of this award will also support the development of lesson plans for students on media literacy with climate change as a key case study. This will help them better differentiate between fact and opinion, and then become stronger contributors and voices at the conference itself.

2. When will it take place?* Planned public program dates and times.

We have currently planned the conference for November 18-20 2020, but now that we are shifting to a heavy virtual component, this is subject to further revision. The conference will definitely remain in the month of November, as this originally coincided with a massive United Nations conference on climate change, but we may decide to stagger events across several weeks.



3. Where will it take place?* List communities of public programs, including venues.

We had initially reserved the Santa Fe Community Conference Center for this, but given the shift in orientation will likely stage our smaller in-person event at a different venue (potentially Hotel Santa Fe or La Fonda on the Plaza). The remainder will happen virtually.

4. Who are the Required Project Personnel for this Project?* Required Personnel include Project Director, Fiscal Agent, Humanities Scholar(s) and Evaluator. Provide names, titles and brief qualifications for their role(s) in this project.

Sandy Campbell, Project Director. Sandy has led the two previous Journalism under Fire conferences, both of which have been highly successfully, very well attended, and garnered significant media exposure. He is CIR's Executive Director.

Susan Jay, Fiscal Agent. Susan is CIR's Office Manager and book keeper. She has significant experience in event planning, bookkeeping, and grant reporting, including on CIR's 2019 grant from NMHC.

Dana Priest, Humanities Scholar. Journalist, WaPo. She is a two-time Pulitzer Prize winner, and has appeared at both previous conferences. She anchored the 2019 conference with opening, during, and closing remarks, and we expect her to do the same this time aroundd.

Olivier Laurent, Humanities Scholar. Photojournanlist, WaPo. As a leading photo editor at the Post, he has done significant work on climate change, and has indicated he'll invite key members of his social network to participate, made all the easier if the event is virtual.

Malachy Browne, Humanities Scholar. Visual Investigations Unit, NYT. He leads the Visual Investigations unit at the Times, and has done exceptional work using digital forensics to expose truth (eg with the Iranian government bombing of the Ukraine airliner). He presented at the 2019 conference, and was the highest evaluated presenter. He will present some of his digital work on water.

Lauren Walsh, Humanities Scholar. Professor, NYU. She comes highly recommended by the Committee to Protect Journalists, and will present 4-5 photos of her work on climate change.

Stephen Pyne, Humanities Scholar. Professor Emeritus, ASU. He is an expert in how fire has shaped human history, and will speak to the role that fire (from Australia to California) plays in climate change. He is an extremely well-regarded professor, recently retired.

Janet Steele, Humanities Scholar. Professor, George Washington University. She also presented at our two previous journalism conferences, and is in the opinion of CIR the best moderator to take the CIR stage. She will moderate several discussions at the conference.

As we have many more invitations to issue, it's important to note that we will also extensively feature New Mexico voices, from Traditional Ecological Knowledge to the views and work of local photojournalists, authors, and academics.

5. How does this project involve the humanities disciplines?* The act that established the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) says, “The term ‘humanities’ includes, but is not limited to, the study of the following: language, both modern and classical; linguistics; literature; history; jurisprudence; philosophy; archaeology; comparative religion; ethics; the history, criticism, and theory of the arts; those aspects of social sciences which have humanistic content and employ humanistic methods; and the study and application of the humanities to the human environment with particular attention to reflecting our diverse heritage, traditions, and history and to the relevance of the humanities to the current conditions of national life.”

As we'll be investigating climate change, our scholars will address multiple dimensions of the humanities. This includes history, literature, ethics, philosophy, current events, science, journalism, photojournalism, and international relations. Moreover, we intend to invite several different indigenous speakers from multiple



cultures as we believe it essential to explore Traditional Ecological Knowledge, especially as we have an extensive array and experience of this in New Mexico.

6. What are the evaluation criteria for the project?* Consider the impact the project intends to have on its audience and how that will be measured or evaluated by the Project Director and Evaluator.

We'll use two different types of evaluation. The first will be informed by quantitative metrics captured by individual evaluation forms. The second will be more qualitative, learning-oriented metrics as established between the evaluator (who evaluated 2019's conference) and the project director. Specifically, we'll explore:

- the important humanities questions, issues or values covered in the conference, and how successfully the conference managed to explore these

- the contributions of the humanities scholars as speakers and in interacting with the audience. We'll assess how they each contributed to the overall dynamic and learning objectives of the conference

- how the conference met or failed to meet its stated goals- what features of the conference worked particularly well and why- what features of the conference could be improved or discarded- audience demographics and engagement level- general observations designed to improve our learning to better stage a fourth journalism conference in

2021.

7. What is the role of each humanities scholar(s) in this project?* Describe the intended contribution of each humanities scholar listed above. What humanities issues will they address?

Dana Priest, Humanities Scholar. Journalist, WaPo. She is a two-time Pulitzer Prize winner, and has appeared at both previous conferences. She anchored the 2019 conference with opening, during, and closing remarks, and we expect her to do the same this time around. She will speak to how we as a society, as journalists, as civil society, can best capture, understand and act in terms of climate change.

Olivier Laurent, Humanities Scholar. Photojournanlist, WaPo. As a leading photo editor at the Post, he has done significant work on climate change, and has indicated he'll invite key members of his social network to participate, made all the easier if the event is virtual. He will provide us with cutting-edge visuals designed to deepen our understanding of climate change.

Malachy Browne, Humanities Scholar. Visual Investigations Unit, NYT. He leads the Visual Investigations unit at the Times, and has done exceptional work using digital forensics to expose truth (eg with the Iranian government bombing of the Ukraine airliner). He presented at the 2019 conference, and was the highest evaluated presenter. He will present some of his digital work on water, which, in NM at the very least, will assist in our understanding of key water issues within a changing climate.

Lauren Walsh, Humanities Scholar. Professor, NYU. She comes highly recommended by the Committee to Protect Journalists, and will present 4-5 photos of her work on climate change. As Laurent above, she will provide exceptional visuals to better help us understand climate change and the role we all must play in its mitigation.

Stephen Pyne, Humanities Scholar. Professor Emeritus, ASU. He is an expert in how fire has shaped human history, and will speak to the role that fire (from Australia to California) plays in climate change. He is an extremely well-regarded professor, recently retired. He will help us understand the past, present and future of fire as a key element of the Anthropocene.

Janet Steele, Humanities Scholar. Professor, George Washington University. She also presented at our two previous journalism conferences, and is in the opinion of CIR the best moderator to take the CIR stage. She will moderate several discussions at the conference. Her primary role is to facilitate the flow of multiple conversations.



We have, at present, outstanding invitations with Greta Thunberg and Vice President Al Gore, who would add significant weight and depth to the conference. We will also soon be inviting journalists from multiple different national/global outlets, and from within New Mexico.

8. Proposed targeted audience/participants?* Indicate demographics and/or geographic area and projected size of audience for project events. Identify new or underserved populations that might be included in target audience.

We believe there is no ceiling on the projected audience for this event. As it will be truly global in nature, we expect thousands from around the world to participate in some way or shape. In New Mexico, we expect (as last year) at least 1500+ participants across the conference; as we'll feature Native American voices, we expect a significant number of individuals from underserved populations to take part. A deliberate design feature of the conference is to emphasize and amplify interaction, and we expect our student population (last year we had 411 participating students) to be a leading part of this.

9. Planned publicity efforts?* List plans by sponsor organization and partners, types of media to be used and geographic areas to be targeted.

As we've done every year for the conference, we'll use many different means to market the conference:a) three months of advertisements in the Santa Fe New Mexicanb) 4 weeks of advertisements in both the ABQ Journal and ABQ Alibic) social media (Facebook especially) to advertise the event, and to involve participants throughout the

eventd) social networks of the US State Department (especially through its global International Visitor

Leadership Program (IVLP)); Global Ties US (which connects over 100 local organizations across the US participating in the IVLP program); the World Affairs Councils of America (particularly those councils in the Southwest and West); and alumni of the IVLP program who have visited Santa Fe, participated in previous journalism conferences here, and so on.

e) social networks of conference partners the Committee to Protect Journalists (which has a global reach) and the American Society of Media Professionals (which has hundreds of members across the USA). We'll work closely with these partners to promote our conference and to encourage participation.

10. Value of Project on Audience Members* Describe how a successful project will impact audience members and their communities.

This conference will leave audience members and their communities with a much deeper, more nuanced, and more science-based understanding of climate change issues. For students participating in the media-literacy component of the conference (from August-November 2020), they will take away a much richer understanding of climate change and the role that science, evidence, and fact play in the overall debate. For the New Mexican public, this conference will allow them to see local decisions in a much different, more informed light - and may spur them to advocate for different or better policies. For the global public, this will showcase how New Mexico - always ranked one of the poorest US states - is in the vanguard of understanding and combatting climate change.



11. Condensed Project Description (with credits)* Condense the Project Description into a publicity statement for NMHC use. Include funding support credits for NMHC and NEH in a three-sentence description.

In partnership with the Committee to Protect Journalists and the American Society of Media Photographers, the Santa Fe Council on International Relations (CIR) is proud to offer its third annual Journalism under Fire exploring the key question of "How can we capture climate change?" With funding support from the New Mexico Humanities Council and the National Endowment for the Arts, the conference will feature leading photojournalists presenting and discussing their work on climate change from around the world, and a range of speakers connecting the dots between climate change and migration; climate change and food security; and climate change and international relations. Crucially, we will also dedicate significant time to exploring lessons learned from the current pandemic, and how this can inform our response to climate change.

A 2019 report conducted by the Stanford History Education Group (SHEG) revealed that over 96% of about 3,500 surveyed high school students from 14 states were unable to make connections on credibility and climate change. It is evident that digital native students are unable to properly evaluate information. The modules on media and science literacy - using climate change as the example - fill an essential gap.We strongly support the grant application to expand skills to prepare New Mexico students to understand their changing world.Sincerly, Pamela Pereyra

March 9, 2020We are thrilled to partner with the Santa Fe Council on International Relations in this important endeavor. In our experience working on media literacy in schools across the state, we believe that students need support in deciphering, understanding and reflecting on the dailymedia they encounter.

Journalism under fire: Here, there and everywhere

By Jason Rezaian

At the beginning of this year I tried to take stock of the predicament faced by the world’s journalists. I noted that 2017 had been the mostdangerous year for reporters in recent memory, and predicted that the year to come would likely be even worse. It wasn’t a hard guess to make,since all signs pointed in that direction. But there was no way that I, or anyone else, could have foreseen just how bad 2018 would become.

A mass shooting of journalists in an American newsroom. The murder of a Post columnist inside a consulate by agents of a U.S. ally government.Two Reuters reporters jailed in Myanmar with the apparent approval of the once-lionized Aung San Suu Kyi. Dozens of reporters killed for theirwork and hundreds more imprisoned. That is how the state of journalism in 2018 will be remembered.

Santa Fe, N.M., might not seem like the obvious place to convene for a discussion about this trend. Yet here we are this week, at a uniquegathering of journalists from around the world – more than 40 countries are represented – to discuss journalism under threat. For make nomistake: This is one of the most consequential challenges facing free societies today.

A year ago, the hosts of the conference were starting to plan their major event for the coming year. Out of a field of some very pressing issues, therelationship between journalism and democracy stood out.

“Once we’d surveyed the national landscape and talked to our local media contacts, the decision to focus on journalism seemed imperative,” saysSandy Campbell, executive director of the Santa Fe Council on International Relations, and organizer of the four-day Journalism Under Fireevent.

It’s a clear indication that communities outside of our biggest coastal cities are acutely aware of the looming crises facing the press, as smallerlocal newspapers fold or are absorbed into large conglomerates and stories from these communities fade from public view.

Bringing together so many journalists from places where independent reporting faces such obvious threats offers a reminder of what’s on theline.



Consider India. There are more newspaper readers there than there are citizens of the United States – yet India, the world’s largest democracy,has also recorded among the highest number of murdered journalists this year.

While the U.S. president makes clear his contempt for the press at home and his disinterest in human rights abroad, governments around theworld have taken advantage of Washington’s passivity. They use the flimsiest of excuses – unsubstantiated threats to national security is aparticular favorite – to keep honest journalists behind bars, without due process, for years on end.

Here at home, reporters are barred from admission to the White House for asking a critical question, or threatened by mobs at political rallies, orgunned down in their newsroom. Of all the places where free expression has suffered most, the biggest tragedy may be that we’re failing toadequately protect what should be valued as our most treasured right.

The stories all have unique variables and they take place continents apart, but this is no disconnected problem. Rather it’s a sign of these times.And if we’re not vigilant, it will only get worse.

From the attendees at this conference I heard harrowing accounts unlikely to go reported anywhere else. Brave reporters such as Jenni Monet,who writes about indigenous communities in the United States. When she was embedded at Standing Rock in 2017, Monet was arrested whilereporting on demonstrations there. The Laguna Pueblo journalist spent a night in jail and many months in a protracted legal case in NorthDakota to clear her name. Or Arbana Xharra, a journalist from Kosovo who -- despite being beaten to the point of hospitalization and subjectedto repeated death threats -- continues to write about the seemingly endless troubles facing the Balkan region; both homegrown and imposed fromabroad.

Such cases might seem remote from our experience, but that’s no longer as true as it might have been once. We’re living in a moment when theycould happen just about anywhere.

But it is deeply encouraging to see hundreds of engaged Santa Fe residents turning out to discuss these issues and ask questions about how wereport the news, what every citizen can do to protect and promote free expression, and why it matters to the future of democracy.

“I hope the event will raise significant awareness about the range of threats that journalists face as proxies for pursuing and discovering thetruth,” Campbell told me.
