Event Details

BBC Moscow correspondent Sarah Rainsford was unexpectedly expelled from Russia labelled as 'national threat' by the Kremlin as they add to their blacklist of foreign media.


Sarah first lived in Russia just after the USSR fell apart and began reporting from Moscow 20 years ago soon after Vladimir Putin came to power.


She will be talking to former 'Women in Journalism' Chair Eleanor Mills about how she coped in a hostile environment, the realities of speaking truth to power and why she fears for the future of the country she loves so much.


This will be a wide-ranging conversation designed to help aspiring journalists and correspondents wanting to learn the tips of the trade, but also to anyone interested in the craft of foreign reports.
