As the Israel-Hamas War evolves, what is the role of journalists and historians in deciphering the crisis? As professionals, they are trained to be well-researched, well-sourced, “objective,” and to cover “both sides” of a debate. But, what of context? That’s the question when journalist Laura Flanders joins Janus Adams for a rare conversation of this scope and magnitude by two veteran women journalists: one British-American and White, the other Afri-Caribbean-American and Black; both wary of answers, knowing that what the situation calls for is questions—not to mention: critical thinking.
Laura Flanders is the Host and Executive Producer of "The Laura Flanders Show," which airs on PBS stations nationwide. She is an Izzy-Award winning independent journalist, a New York Times bestselling author, and the recipient of the Pat Mitchell Lifetime Achievement Award from the Women’s Media Center.
