With around seven weeks to go until the next newsrewired digital journalism conference, Journalism.co.uk is pleased to announce Emily Dugan, senior reporter for BuzzFeed News, will be joining the open panel discussing the staying power of journalism beyond the news cycle.
Dugan is currently reporting on the struggles people face when being forced to represent themselves in court, as part of a series called Access to Justice.
Her past investigations into the Criminal Courts Charge – and successful campaign to overthrow it – have seen her listed for News Reporter of the Year at the British Press Awards, the Cudlipp Prize, and the Orwell Prize for “Exposing Britain’s Social Evils”. She has reported on human rights in Britain and abroad, including in Libya, Afghanistan and the Central African Republic.
