Hard access stories: why audio journalism is the solution

Be it reporting from offshore refugee detention camps on Nauru or Manus island, an intimate glimpse at prison life, tabu topics in Arab societies - audio journalism offers a special kind of protection for your sources and jaw-dropping access.

On this panel we talk with experts who have made stories like this happen or helped others make them happen. They’ll be talking about specific cases and dive into the opportunities and limitations when it comes to audio journalism.
