Walter Isaacson addressed the John F. Kennedy Jr. Forum after reporters from the Associated Press were awarded the annual Goldsmith Prize for Investigative Reporting for their work on “Seafood from Slaves.” He spoke about the intersection of technology and journalism in an increasingly interconnected global community.
