-Telling the stories of Climate, Inequality and Justice in 2023-
Mr. Palagummi Sainath is a passionately committed journalist who has continued to report ‘rural stories’ from impoverished Indian villages.
In a rapidly changing world, the social role of journalism is once again being questioned.
How can we tell the world about the climate crisis and the movement for social and economic justice?
He will talk about new journalism for the people, based on his own activities.
Everyone is welcome to attend, including students from Kyushu University, the general public, and other students.
