A dynamic Panel on Censorship, continuing the important conversation on free expression and the challenges it faces today.

The panel will feature an accomplished lineup of journalists: Bob Basler, Eunice Trotter, Durrell Hall, John Krull, Paul Hendrickson, and Ginger Claremohr. Together, they bring decades of experience in reporting, storytelling, and navigating the boundaries of speech in the public sphere.

This engaging discussion will examine censorship’s far-reaching effect on literature, journalism, and civic life—asking how the silencing of voices shapes culture, democracy, and the pursuit of truth. Attendees will gain a deeper perspective on the complexities of free expression and the role we all play in protecting it.
