Lowdown XIII: Reporting and Identity: Navigating Journalism as a Jew with Amie Liebowitz

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.

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.
