For generations, war has been one of humanity’s most ubiquitous states. Conflict is a constant topic on our news feeds, papers and platforms, but what really happens behind the scenes of the reports unfolding on our screens?

With today’s conflicts more intense and more visible than ever, pursuing a picture of reality has never been so important. Join award-winning journalists, Kate Adie and Stacey Dooley, for a no-holds-barred excavation of what goes on off-camera during war zone reporting.

Panel: Kate Adie and Stacey Dooley
