Teachers. The Ones I Can’t Forget

Sponsored by Townsend Press; Judy Nadell & John Langan

Moderator: Marianne Aleardi, Publisher & Editor in Chief, SJ Magazine Media

Through inti­mate pro­files, Mar­tin Fletcher’s Teach­ers details the strug­gles of every­day peo­ple in extra­or­di­nary cir­cum­stances — war, rev­o­lu­tion, nat­ur­al dis­as­ters, and yes, life. Fletcher exam­ines the truth of resilience despite hard­ship. These are the peo­ple he sought out in his inter­na­tion­al report­ing with NBC news, detail­ing their woes while cel­e­brat­ing their will to sur­vive and recover. At a time when news cov­er­age is often dis­missed as fake or biased, Teach­ers is a wel­come reminder of the integri­ty, devo­tion, and empa­thy that goes into true report­ing of the world. Fletch­er has won five Emmys and a Colum­bia Uni­ver­si­ty DuPont Award — a Pulitzer for work in tele­vi­sion — as well as awards from the Over­seas Press Club and Roy­al Soci­ety of Tele­vi­sion.
