SASS: Kevin Sites: Media Coverage in Time of Much Doubt
Ramo Auditorium
- Public Event
As one of the world's most respected war correspondents, Kevin Sites has spent the past five years covering global war and disaster for several national networks. Sites helped pioneer solo journalism, working completely alone, traveling, and reporting without a crew. As a solo journalist ("SoJo"), Sites carries a backpack of portable digital technology to shoot, write, edit, and transmit multimedia reports.
Sites, winner of the 2006 Daniel Pearl Award for Courage and Integrity in Journalism, recently completed a mission that took him to 22 conflict zones in 19 of the most strife-ridden countries of the world in a single year.
His past assignments have brought him to nearly every region of the world, including the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Central Asia, South America, and Eastern Europe.
This event is part of The Caltech Y's Social Activism Speaker Series, which focuses attention on current social and political issues by inviting prominent activists to speak to the Caltech community and the public, and to share their experiences and perspectives.
