Mariane Pearl to Speak on Press Freedom Tuesday
Mariane Pearl, a French freelance journalist for Glamour and the widow of slain Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl, will be on Capitol Hill Tuesday for a panel on defending press freedom.
Pearl’s husband was murdered in Pakistan by members of Al-Qaeda in 2002, and the experience formed the basis of her memoir, “A Mighty Heart,” which was later adapted into a movie starring Angelina Jolie. Pearl’s visit is part of a series of events to mark World Press Freedom Day, co-sponsored by the Congressional Caucus for Freedom of the Press and the National Endowment for Democracy.
