How I Did It: Yousra Elbagir on Covering Sudan
Join us for a lunchtime conversation with Yousra Elbagir, Sky News Africa correspondent and the winner of the International Women’s Media Foundation 2025 Courage in Journalism Award. The program is cosponsored by the Overseas Press Club of America and the Simon and June Li Center for Global Journalism at Columbia University.
Alexis Okeowo, a writer at The New Yorker and an OPC governor, will moderate.
We’ll hear from Elbagir about covering the ongoing war and genocide in Sudan: what it is like reporting on the ground in a place few international journalists have been able to access, and how her own personal story intersects with the humanitarian crisis.
