 Somerset House Presents:

'FRONTLINE: A YEAR OF JOURNALISM & CONFLICT'

'Frontline: A Year of Journalism & Conflict' will focus on four of the major stories of 2011: the Egyptian revolution, Syria, the Libyan conflict and the UK riots. This multimedia exhibition will offer a unique insight into the editorial, political and human aspects of news reporting.

The exhibition will feature live news reports from the stories as they happened and stills taken from Sky News HD footage. iPads throughout the exhibition will give visitors access to background interviews with the journalists, editors and producers who worked on breaking the story as well as timelines, maps and photo galleries.

The exhibition will highlight the dilemmas facing news organisations in authenticating and broadcasting often deeply disturbing images to the public.

Visitors may find some of the images in the exhibition disturbing. Parental supervision may be advised.
