Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This episode features Jonathan Dumont, an Emmy Award–winning journalist and senior United Nations humanitarian official, in conversation with SOAS MSc Humanitarian, Aid and Conflict students Lynn Tabbara and Hassan Karmali. Drawing on more than four decades of reporting from conflict zones and humanitarian emergencies, Dumont reflects on the changing role of journalism in contexts of crisis.
Building on his experience with the BBC, CNN, and the UN World Food Programme, the discussion explores the challenges of access, risk, and ethical responsibility in places including Gaza, Sudan, and Syria. It considers how to bear witness with care and integrity, and what it means to communicate crisis in an era shaped by real-time information and misinformation.
