How do journalists manage working under unwelcoming, and even outright unsafe conditions? Veteran foreign correspondents Carol Williams and Sara Jamshidi will be at Folio: The Anatheaum Monday March 25 talking about their experiences reporting around the world. Williams and Jamshidi join New Day Northwest to talk about their experiences and strategies for keeping journalists safe on assignment.
