New Threats to Journalism – Tuesday, May 20
As authoritarianism spreads, threats to journalists are growing around the globe – and here at home. As media consumers, we only get a glimpse of these encounters through the powerful articles they write. War correspondent and decorated journalist Andy Alexander joins us in partnership with the Charleston Library Society to share the ongoing and ever-rising threat to those who give us first-hand accounts of global information, and the new threats that digital surveillance poses to silencing their sources.

Europe’s Biggest Armed Conflict Since WWII, Thursday, May 22
Since Russia’s all-out invasion of Ukraine in February of 2022, Europe’s biggest armed conflict since World War II has grabbed headlines across the world. A senior writer at Bloomberg News and Bloomberg Business Week, Stephanie Baker explores her introspective on the unrelenting shadow war between Russia and Ukraine, a few weeks after the paperback publication of her latest release, Punishing Putin. Baker will share insight on how this war started, its execution, as well as the power it has to affect the course of history. Click here to register.
The World Affairs Council of Charleston (WACC), formerly the Charleston Foreign Affairs Forum, was founded in the early 1980s as a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization.
We work to deepen our community’s global perspective through speaker programs, discussion groups, and educational experiences.
