The entire festival was live-streamed and all the videos are
available online

The International Journalism Festival in Perugia #IJF18 is over. It was the biggest yet, with
more than 700 speakers and 300 sessions. If you missed it, you missed a lot. But here’s the
good news: the entire festival was live-streamed and all the videos are available online. Just
go here, and you will find all of them. And if you are overwhelmed with the amount, start with
this list. I picked 10 panels that I liked the most. Hope it helps:
