To mark 60 years of reporting on landmark international events by the iconic programme From Our Own Correspondent, Owen Bennett-Jones presents a discussion, recorded at London's Frontline Club, on how foreign reporting has evolved over the decades – and where it is heading today.

Joined by a panel of leading journalists and an audience that includes experienced reporters on foreign events, the programme recalls outstanding moments of foreign reporting, and considers how politics and broader economic and social changes – plus the demands of modern-day broadcasting – have all changed the way correspondents now bring often-complicated international stories to diverse audiences.

How have more specialised reporting, embedding journalists with different participants in conflicts and focusing on the experiences of the general public changed the way we understand the world? And how is the use of social media affecting reporting on foreign events?
