Synthesizing Journalism and Art in Belarus and Jordan

CEU Podcasts

In this episode we will talk about two media organizations that overcame geographical distances to report on their homes from abroad. They are also doing much more than that: they have created a synthesis of different art forms and journalism and became critical voices and sources of information for their public. The story of Belarus Free Theatre, an underground theatre company and Al-Hudood a satirical news site show how journalism can transform critical art forms and political activism. This special episode was split in two parts in order to allow for the stories to be told in their own terms. Original music for the series was composed by András Simongáti-Farquhar.
