Ukraine is portrayed as a nation divided in two, Bahrain's freedom movement is given a sectarian wash, and Syria’s freedom struggle is lost on conflict coverage.
Activists on the ground are usually taken aback by the "frame" western mainstream media uses to report their revolutions. In this panel, we'll talk about how protests and movements for freedom in Iran, Syria, Ukraine, and Bahrain should not be reported.
Mary Aviles, Global Voices’ Latin America editor and co-founder of Venezuela Decoded, a site that breaks down Venezuela's protests, will moderate.
