**Brian J. Karem, Salon.com columnist, member of the White House press corps** and author of [Free the Press: The Death of American Journalism and How to Revive It](https://www.amazon.com/Free-Press-American-Journalism-Revive/dp/1633887669?ref=capitolcommunicator.com), recently made the decision to travel to Ukraine because, “We deserve the truth — and that’s my job”.

**In a** [**CommPRO**](https://www.commpro.biz/?ref=capitolcommunicator.com) **and** [**Foreign Press Association**](https://www.foreignpressassociation.org/association-elected-board--executive-committee.html?ref=capitolcommunicator.com) **exclusive free webinar,** Karem will discuss what is happening on the ground in Ukraine, why he went there, the battle against disinformation, the importance of truth to our democracy and the critical role of a free press. He will be interviewed by **Ian Williams**, president of the Foreign Press Association.

Karem has been on the frontlines of journalism at the White House and in war zones during his long career. Always willing to hold the powerful to account, the Trump administration suspended his press pass only to have the decision overturned by the courts.
