Joris Luyendijk: Hello Everybody!
One Journalist’s Search for Truth in the Middle East
Dutch Journalist Joris Luyendijk tells the story of his five years as a reporter in the Middle East. Young and inexperienced but fluent in Arabic, he speaks to stone throwers and soldiers, taxi drivers and professors, victims and aggressors chronicling at first hand experiences of occupation and war. Hello Everybody! analyses the yawning gap between the truth and media portrayals.
Joris Luyendijk is an award-winning journalist. Hello Everybody! sold over a quarter of a million copies in the Netherlands. He is one of his country’s most respected journalists. Jore Luyendijk will be in conversation with John Kampfner, who is Director of Index on Censorship, about this important book.
Tickets: £5 (includes a glass of wine)
