Monday, February 2, from 6-8 pm, join me for a public conversation with Leslie Jamison (Empathy Exams), Jen Percy (Demon Camp), and Ben Ratliff (Coltrane): “Reporting Pain,” sponsored by NYU Journalism’s Cultural Reporting and Criticism Program. We’ll talk about the complexities of writing about the suffering of others—trauma, illness, violence, poverty—in various reportorial modes: journalistic, critical, essayistic. We’ll discuss the intricacies of journalist-subject relationships, the boundaries of privacy, and the dilemma of subjectivity.
