Professor Peter Greste - The Grey Zone
About
Peter Greste explores the zone of tolerance — the space between the blacks-and-whites of polarised extremes that is essential to democracy, but that now appears to be unravelling. The rise of far-right parties in Europe and Latin America, and the recent elections in the United States have all seen the Grey Zone shrink. The startling rise in the murders of journalists is another symptom of the problem. Professor Greste draws on his 25 years of experience as a correspondent, and his time in Egypt, to discuss the Grey Zone, and why we need to protect it.Peter Greste is an Australian journalist, author, and media freedom activist, currently an adjunct professor at the University of Queensland (UQ). He gained international attention in 2013 when he was arrested in Cairo on terrorism charges while working for Al Jazeera, leading to a seven-year sentence that was widely condemned as an attack on press freedom.
