Cato Weekly Podcast • December 17, 2018 

# Jamal Khashoggi, Saudi War in Yemen, and Modern Journalism 

The death of a U.S. journalist may have been the last straw for members of the Senate in considering the U.S‑Saudi relationship. Spencer Ackerman of *The Daily Beast* discusses journalism and its risks in fraught times. We spoke at the [2018 Cato Institute Surveillance Conference](https://www.cato.org/events/2018-cato-institute-surveillance-conference).
