Lowdown XIII: Reporting and Identity: Navigating Journalism as a Jew with Amie Liebowitz
In this special episode of The Lowdown, host Hanna Veiler welcomes Amie Liebowitz, an Australian journalist working for the BBC – live from Summer U Greece. Throughout the episode, Amie tells us about her career with media outlets, dealing with intense topics like far-right politics and antisemitism as well as her path into journalism, the highs and lows, and what it means to cover crucial Jewish topics in today’s world, especially post-October 7th.
The Lowdown is the European Union of Jewish Students’ monthly podcast. In each episode, we discuss a different topic within the broad fields of global development and human rights, alongside a leading decision-maker on the topic. The podcast takes each issue from a Jewish youth perspective – asking how can we boost Jewish youth activism on each topic.
