The USC Annenberg Center on Communication Leadership & Policy has partnered with the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia and Santa Monica College to host an off-campus screening of the documentary Flashpoint: Protest, Policing, and the Press with live Q+A. The film features the stories of several journalists who were assaulted or arrested while reporting at protests and explores the conflict and tension experienced on the front lines, the changing role of the press, and the hardening of attitudes among the police towards journalists. The free event will be held at the Center for Media & Design Auditorium at Santa Monica College, 1660 Stewart Street Santa Monica, CA 90404 on Friday, October 27, 2023.
