Description

Summary
The Los Angeles World Affairs Council Young Professionals is honored to host the 2013 recipients of the Daniel Pearl Journalism Fellowship, Khalid Khattak and Emran Hossain, and the 2013 recipient of the Pearl-Shahzad Fellowship, Waqas Banoori. These fellowships were established in the memory of Wall Street Journal correspondent Daniel Pearl, who was kidnapped and killed by al Qaeda extremists in Pakistan in 2002.  The three honorees will talk about their experiences working in the relatively free and unrestricted media here in the US, and compare that to the challenges they face working as reporters in their home countries of Pakistan and Bangladesh, where they have to deal with government control of the press and the all-too-frequent threats of violence to individual journalists.
