Around the world, journalists face censorship, intimidation, and violence—yet they persist in sharing truth and fostering trust. In this culminating webinar of Above the Noise: Trust, Bias & Belonging in Media, hear directly from journalists working at the frontlines of press freedom and explore what their experiences reveal about resilience, responsibility, and the future of trustworthy media—both globally and here in Colorado.
Moderated by

Featured Panelists
Patrick Boehler, journalist and media leader with experience at Radio Free Europe, The New York Times, and Gazzetta, known for his work advancing press freedom and newsroom innovation across Europe and beyond.
Madison Karas, journalist and documentary storyteller whose work spans local and national newsrooms, including the Tiny News Collective, which supports community-led, sustainable journalism initiatives across the country.
Examine the growing pressures on press freedom—abroad and at home—and what it means for journalists, newsrooms, and communities striving to stay informed, connected, and courageous in a rapidly changing world.
