Veteran international correspondent Deborah Amos brings decades of reporting from global conflict zones to northern Michigan for this inaugural lecture. A longtime voice on National Public Radio, Amos has covered the Middle East, migration, and the human consequences of war with depth and clarity.

Her work exemplifies the courage, rigor, and integrity at the heart of the Giles Press Freedom Lecture. In conversation, Amos will explore the evolving challenges facing journalists today—from disinformation and declining trust to increasing threats against press freedom worldwide.

The Giles Press Freedom Lecture is supported in part by a gift to IAF from the late Robert & Nancy Giles. Bob was a two-time Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, editor, and author who served our community as a former IAF Advisory Board member. Nancy was a psychologist and a tireless mental health education advocate. The Giles were lifetime champions of an open worldview, education, press freedom & journalistic integrity.
