DESCRIPTION:2025 Peter Stursberg Foreign Correspondents Lecture



Human reporting from Sudan and beyond — a remedy for selective empathy?



featuring Yousra Elbagir, Sky News Africa Correspondent



“As journalists, we aren’t just tasked with presenting facts and figures but should be making the world a smaller place. Through reporting on my country’s revolution and ignored war, I have learnt that human reporting is a powerful tool to foster compassion in an increasingly divided world. I have taken this with me wherever I report and will share it through anecdotes and some valuable hard-earned lessons.”
