SPJ Madison sponsors ‘Time Stands Still’ theater outing

After two journalists return home after covering the Iraq War, they struggle to adjust to a normal life.

A special post-show talkback exploring a reporter’s role in reporting violent or controversial events will take place immediately after the show.
