Human rights abuses don't happen just in far-off lands. This session will look at how journalists can uncover torture and other official misconduct and institutional failures that harm vulnerable populations. Stories highlighted by this panel include a multi-media investigation of World Bank-financed land grabs and environmental damage, an exposé of India's anti-terrorism rendition program and a TV probe of how slow response by the U.S. Border Patrol has contributed to the deaths of hundreds of people crossing into Texas.
