This week we're revisiting one of my favourite episodes from one of the first series. It was back in the day when it was still taboo to talk about menopause, so getting a so-called hardened war reporter to do just that was, well a bit of a coup. Here's Lindsey Hilsum admitting to hiding behind a tank!---You know when people say you're “brave” because you've got a few grey hairs?! Well, my guest this week is the living proof - as if it were needed - that that is a right old load of BS. Channel 4 International Editor Lindsey Hilsum is an acclaimed foreign correspondent who has reported from all over the world including Iraq, Syria, Gaza, Kosovo and Rwanda. She also won the James Tait Black Award for In Extremis, her devastating biography of her friend, the foreign reporter, Marie Colvin who was killed reporting from Syria in 2012.Lindsey is just as bold as her job might lead you to expect. She takes no prisoners as she talks about managing menopause symptoms in a war zone, being in a minority on the box and why there needs to be more “old trouts on TV” (and, no, she's not bloody brave for going grey on screen), and how she finally found the perfect answer to “Give us a smile love”. Only took forty years…• You can buy all the books mentioned in this podcast at Bookshop.org, including the book that accompanies this podcast, The Shift: how I lost and found myself after 40 - and you can too by Sam Baker and In Extremis: the life of war correspondent Marie Colvin by Lindsey Hilsum.* And if you'd like to support the work that goes into making this podcast and get a weekly newsletter plus loads more content including exclusive transcripts of the podcast, why not join The Shift community, come and have a look around at www.theshiftwithsambaker.substack.comThe Shift (on life after 40) with Sam Baker is created and hosted by Sam Baker and edited by Emily Sandford.

George Arbuthnott is deputy editor of the Insight team at The Sunday Times. His investigations helped to shape the Modern Slavery Bill, expose a global doping scandal in athletics and revealed that Boris Johnson failed to declare conflicts of interest over his friendship with an ex-model. George has won or been shortlisted for more than 30 awards. Join Liezl as she talks to George about his incredible work as a journalist and how he ended up writing ‘the book the Prime Minister doesn't want you to read'.KEY TAKEAWAYS George had a journalistic instinct even from his days at school. He wrote match reports for his school's sports teams but they weren't entirely factual, he made them controversial to make people laugh. When at university he also set up a publication which poked fun at the establishment.  While studying his masters degree, George had a scholarship with the Mail on Sunday which allowed him to spend some of his holiday time there learning and doing some writing. He ended up doing work on children who had been failed by social services which got published, this led to George being taken on as a trainee after his degree.  George has written and investigated some of the most horrific and interesting stories including a student being killed by a polar bear, the international murder of Anni Dewani and was part of the investigation into the FIFA corruption scandal and how Qatar bribed their way to hosting the 2022 World Cup. In 2015 George joined the Insight Team at the Sunday Times on a scholarship set up in the memory of Marie Colvin, a famous foreign correspondent killed in Syria. His special interest in corruption and human rights abuses led him to conduct a two-year investigation that brought to light human trafficking in the United Kingdom and won him Campaign of the Year at the British Journalism Awards. This also lead to Prime Minister Theresa May introducing changes to the Modern Slavery Act.  In 2016 George was listed by Forbes in their '30 under 30' in their media category.  George and Jonathan Calvert's book ‘Failures of State' recounts the extraordinary political decisions taken at the heart of Boris Johnson's government during the global pandemic. You can find a link to the book in the show notes below. The original article on the pandemic that they wrote for the Times in April 2020 was their most read online article ever, more than doubling the previous record.  BEST MOMENTS‘I didn't know what investigative journalism was, but it was the one course where you could do print and broadcast journalism'‘Once you looked into it you could see the whole system was riddled with corruption' ‘They marketed it as ‘the book the Prime Minister doesn't want you to read'VALUABLE RESOURCESGeorge on TwitterGeorge on LinkedInFailures of State: The Inside Story of Britain's Battle with CoronavirusGeorge Arbuthnott's work at the TimesABOUT THE GUESTGeorge Arbuthnott is a British investigative journalist at The Sunday Times.

When we get knocked down, we get back up again, rising from the smush like fruit flies! This week, the ladies are covering two war-time journalists separated by hundreds of years but have a surprising amount in common. First, Kelley tells the story of Marie Colvin, a war journalist who looked like she stepped out of a Bond film, but instead of taking out enemy spies, she sought to cover the tragedy and chaos of war- no matter the cost. Then, Emily covers Mary Katharine Goddard, a Revolutionary-era printer, book shop proprietor, journalist, and patriot who put her name on the Declaration of Independence. Is it a dragon or Washington?? Doesn't matter because we're wining about herstory! Support the show

John Heilemann talks with Marie Brenner, Vanity Fair writer-at-larger and author of the new book, The Desperate Hours: One Hospital's Fight to Save a City on the Pandemic's Front Lines. The book provides a detailed account of the struggle of New York's largest hospital system, New York Presbyterian, to combat the brutal Covid-19 surge in the initial months of the pandemic. Heilemann and Brenner discuss the divide between the corporate side of New York Presbyterian, which put a gag order on its personnel, and the medical professionals who wanted to tell the truth about the city's, the state's, and the federal government's unpreparedness in the fight against COVID; the difficulties New York Presbyterian faced because of the Trump administration's anti-science rhetoric; and the heroism of hospital employees as the pandemic raged on. John also takes Marie for a walk down memory lane and through her storied career in journalism, focusing on three stories she wrote that were adapted into critically acclaimed films (The Insider, Richard Jewell, A Private War); her experience writing about the late Marie Colvin, the legendary war correspondent; and Brenner's run-in decades ago with Donald Trump, who was so enraged by a profile she wrote about him that he took revenge on her in a public, scene-making, cowardly, incompetent -- all of which is to say, perfectly Trumpian -- fashion.

my movie review of A private War from 2018 - a documentary drama starring Rosamund Pike as War correspondent Marie Colvin

British photojournalist Tom Stoddart on his new book Extraordinary Women, a photographic collection that salutes the resilience and courage of women through times of war, poverty and hardship. With fifty years behind the lens, Tom also shares some home truths about the business of photojournalism, why it's an exciting yet challenging time for picture makers, reinvention and the changing landscape. He revisits some of his most important pictures and talks of his time working with the late respected front line journalist Marie Colvin. See the SHOW NOTES for links and thanks to MPB.com for their support of this title.

In February 2012 - a year after the war in Syria had started - photographer Paul Conroy and Sunday Times correspondent Marie Colvin smuggled themselves into the war-ravaged Syrian city of Homs. As the first journalists on the scene, they witnessed the targeted attacks perpetrated by the Syrian government on women, children and civilian hospitals. As they were broadcasting the siege of Homs live to the world, the Syrian regime was using their satellites to locate and target them. The missile attack that followed killed both Marie and French photojournalist Rémi Ochlik and severely injured Paul. Ten years on since the start of the conflict in Syria, Paul Conroy talks to former Sunday Times journalist and colleague of Marie Colvin, Tom Pattinson, about those fateful hours in Homs.- - - - -Show notes and transcription: DEF086 - Show Notes- - - - -Timestamps:Coming soon…- - - - -The success of Defiance will be largely down to the support of you, the listener.

He's worked in some of the most war torn places on earth, and yet amongst this chaos he's met the most positive and good humoured people. As a war photographer Paul Conroy was used to experiencing the horrors of conflict a daily basis. In 2012 he entered Syria with journalist Marie Colvin, where they were targeted with artillery by the Assad regime, which sadly Marie did not survive. Paul documented his experience in his book Under the Wire, which was made into a documentary under the same name, as well as a Hollywood movie. Paul's unique perspective has the power to help us all to be more appreciative of what we have.  *** A massive thank you to our wonderful sponsors!

Innenansichten gibt es von einer echten Kriegsreporterin: Düzen Tekkal. Krieg und Medien gehören zusammen wie die Patrone im Lauf. Spätestens seit dem Krisenkino der späten 70er- und der 80er-Jahre ist die Kriegsberichterstattung ein häufig besetztes Thema in Filmen. Doch wie realistisch ist das Bild, das diese Filme von diesem Metier zeichnen? Dieser Frage gehen wir in einer neuen Folge von journalistenfilme.de – der Podcast nach. Innenansichten gibt es von einer echten Kriegsreporterin: Düzen Tekkal. Text & Moderation: Patrick Torma. Kriegsberichterstatter*innen bilden ihren eigenen Archetypus im Medium Film. Der verwegene, mit Kameras behangene Haudegen, der sich ohne zu zögern ins Schlachtgetümmel wirft (etwa Nick Nolte in Under Fire). Die furchtlose Frontreporterin, die sich unnachgiebig an die Fersen der Warlords heftet (Jennifer Connelly in Blood Diamond oder Rosamund Pike alias Marie Colvin in A Private War). Die jugendlichen Draufgänger, die in den umkämpften Gassen der Dritten Welt nach dem Kick suchen (Ryan Phillippe und Taylor Kitsch in The Bang Bang Club). Das Krisenkino steckt voller Teufelskerle und -mädels, die unser Bild von Kriegsreporter*innen mitprägen. Doch wie realistisch ist dieses Bild wirklich? Sind alle Journalist*innen, die in Kriegsgebieten unterwegs sind, Draufgänger*innen? Was treibt sie dazu an, dem Tod ins Auge zu sehen? Ihr eigenes Leben zu riskieren, um die Öffentlichkeit auf das Wüten und das Leid auf der anderen Seite der Welt aufmerksam zu machen? Diesen Fragen wollen wir uns in einer neuen Episode von journalistenfilme-de – der Podcast annähern. Aufhänger sollen fünf Thesen und Motive sein, von denen ich glaube, dass sie in vielen Kriegsreporterstreifen verhandelt werden. Da mir allerdings die Erfahrung abgeht, war es mir wichtig, die Innenansichten echter Kriegsreporter*innen einzubeziehen. Umso mehr freue ich mich, dass ich mit Düzen Tekkal eine Journalistin mit einer vielschichtigen wie inspirierenden Vita für ein Interview gewinnen konnte. Düzen Tekkal: Über Nacht zur Kriegsberichterstatterin Düzen Tekkal hatte ursprünglich nie geplant, eine Kriegsberichterstatterin zu sein. Zu einer solchen wird sie quasi „über Nacht“, als sie 2014 Hilferufe aus dem Nord-Irak erreichen. Die Terror-Miliz Islamischer Staat verfolgt und ermordet gezielt Jesiden. Als Kind kurdisch-jesidischer Eltern reist Düzen Tekkal in die vom IS besetzten Gebiete, um über den Völkermord an den Menschen ihrer Glaubensgemeinschaft zu berichten. Die Erfahrungen, die sie in dem völlig unübersichtlichen Kriegsgebiet macht, verändern sie nachhaltig. Sie kehrt als Menschenrechtsaktivistin zurück. Sie gründet den Verein Hawar.help, der von der Gewalt versehrten Jesidinnen zurück ins Leben verhilft. Aber auch hierzulande engagiert sie sich in mannigfaltiger Weise für die Bildung und die Integration junger Menschen. Im Gespräch mit journalistenfilme.de – der Podcast berichtet Düzen Tekkal von ihrer Arbeit, prägenden Erfahrungen und Lehren, die sie aus ihren Begegnungen im Krisengebieten gezogen hat. Außerdem klopfen wir klassische Vorurteile über Kriegsreporter*innen ab und zeigen auf, welche wichtigen Funktionen diese Kolleg*innen erfüllen. Eingebettet ist dieses Interview in eine Reihe von Beobachtungen aus dem Krisenkino. Das Ergebnis ist eine etwas andere, feature-artige Episode von journalistenfilme.de – der Podcast, angesiedelt zwischen persönlichem Erfahrungsbericht und Audio-Essay. Ich bin gespannt, wie dieser Ansatz bei Euch, liebe Hörerinnen und Höre, ankommt. Über Feedback freue ich mich sehr. Kriegsberichterstattung im Film: Mythos und Realität Ich bedanke mich ganz herzlich bei Düzen Tekkal, die meiner Anfrage sehr offen gegenüberstand und sich inmitten ihrer vieler Projekte die Zeit für journalistenfilme.de genommen hat. Das, was ich hier veranstalte, ist keine reine Spaßveranstaltung, aber es gibt ganz sicher dringlichere Angelegenheiten. Daher verzichte ich an dieser Stelle auch auf die obligatorischen Hinweise, wie ihr journalistenfilme.de – der Podcast supporten könnt. Stattdessen freue ich mich, wenn ihr in Erwägung ziehen würdet, die humanitäre Arbeit von Düzen Tekkal zu unterstützen. Ob nun vor Ort in den betroffenen Gebieten, aus denen sie berichtet, oder aber vor der Haustür: Da ist jeder Euro gut aufgehoben. Umfassende Informationen findet Ihr auf der Homepage von Hawar.help. Wer sich einen – filmischen – Eindruck von der Arbeit Düzen Tekkals machen möchte – mit Hawar – Meine Reise in den Genozid (2015) und Jiyan – Die vergessenen Opfer des IS (2020) hat die Journalistin zwei Dokumentationen veröffentlicht.

Award-winning journalists Lindsey Hilsum (In Extremis) and Ben Anderson (Holidays in the Axis of Evil) give an illustrated talk about the life and death of the war correspondent Marie Colvin. Including film footage.

Early on, the stage was set for Rosamund Pike to pursue a career in the performing arts. Born to two opera singers, Rosamund had a front row seat to familial emoting. She tried her hand at both music and acting, but a bout of stage fright while playing the cello forced Rosamund to recognize that she really didn’t want to play herself on stage—she was much more interested in playing other people, where her imagination was free to roam and explore. “Acting was like diving into a place where you actually felt alive, where things felt real.” Soon after finishing college, Rosamund got her first break as a Bond girl opposite Pierce Brosnan in 2002’s Die Another Day. But playing Miranda Frost—the “epitome of icy English blondness”—in your breakout role has its drawbacks. For years, Rosamund was cast in similarly cold and confident roles, and she longed for the opportunity to do more. Enter director David Fincher, who saw something unique in Rosamund. He offered her the role of Amy Dunne in Gone Girl, and her breathtaking performance earned her a slew of awards and new opportunities to evolve as an artist in films like A United Kingdom, Hostiles, and now her latest film playing slain journalist Marie Colvin in A Private War. Her deep dive into the Marie’s life led to an intensity that was as fulfilling as it was terrifying. "You are trying to trick your brain into getting to a place where you are out of control, and that is a scary place.” But as Rosamund explains, she’s waited her entire life for the opportunity to disappear into somebody else, and in A Private War, she does just that. Rosamund joins Off Camera to talk about her fascination with human emotion, the elaborate plan she concocted to meet with David Fincher for Gone Girl, and her intimate knowledge of bone saws.

Rosamund Pike verkörpert die preisgekrönte Kriegsberichterstatterin der Sunday Times, Marie Colvin. Matthew Heineman zeigt oft in der Optik eines Dokumentarfilms die Stationen ihrer letzten Jahre – vom Einsatz in Sri Lanka, bei dem sie ein Auge verliert bis zu ihrem Tod in Syrien 2012, zeigt den posttraumatischen Stress, die Getriebenheit, den Alkoholismus und vor allem: Die Opfer des Krieges. Heinemans gelungener Film wäre wohl im Sinne von Marie Colvin gewesen, denn er berührt uns mit dem Schicksal der Menschen und das war Colvins Antrieb gewesen. Im Podcast – direkt nach dem Film – diskutieren Johanna, Bettina und Thomas über die Rolle der Medien und Redaktionen, über vermiedene Hollywoodklischees, über Massengräber und 28.000 unschuldige Opfer in Homs.

C'est aujourd'hui Nicolas Quénel, journaliste indépendant, spécialiste du développement du terrorisme islamiste en Asie, qui fait part de sa recommandation dans le bunker : "A Private War", film consacré au journalisme de guerre à travers le parcours de la reporter Marie Colvin.

Paul Conroy is a British freelance photographer and filmmaker who works in the British media. A former soldier with the Royal Artillery between 1980 and 1987, he has since worked extensively as a journalist in combat zones, producing footage from conflicts in the Balkans, the Middle East and Libya. In 2011 he was shortlisted for the PRX Bayeux TV report along with Marie Colvin, the war correspondent with The Sunday Times. On 22 February 2012 during the Syrian uprising, Conroy was injured while covering events from the Syrian city of Homs, a stronghold of Syrian opposition forces, after the building where he and other journalists were based was shelled by Syrian government forces. Marie Colvin and French photojournalist Remi Ochlik were killed in the attack, while Conroy was injured along with another journalist, French reporter Edith Bouvier of Le Figaro. His book (now also an award-winning documentary) Under the Wire is the epic, untold account of Conroy and Colvin’s last, tragic assignment together. @reflextv Stories from the 5x15 special recorded in aid of Hands Up for Syria Foundation at The Tabernacle 7th November 2019. 5x15 brings together five outstanding individuals to tell of their lives, passions and inspirations.

When photographer Paul Conroy was injured during a Syrian rocket attack in 2012, his first thought was probably not how this might change reporting of the war. Two other journalists died in the same attack - Remi Ochlik and Marie Colvin. Paul survived, wrote a book which became the basis for a famous documentary, and then worked as consultant on a major film, A Private War. Does his story represent a more powerful way of understanding the war? Five decades ago Gerald Scarfe went to Asia for The Daily Mail to cover the Vietnam war. He drew it, and here he shares his experiences with Paul as they discuss whether there are different ways to bring back the news. Future programmes in this series to include artist Arabella Dorman. The producer in Bristol is Miles Warde

In the early summer of 1945, Lee Miller sent a telegram back to London about what she had seen in the Nazi death camps. “I implore you to believe this is true,” she wrote. Her employers were Vogue magazine. How did a famous beauty like Miller end up covering the war? Her extraordinary life and the images she left, most famously posing in Hitler's bath, are explored here by Lindsey Hilsum of Channel Four News. She is joined by Miller's son, Antony Penrose. Lee Miller was American, born in 1907, but lived in Paris and Cairo and then London during the blitz. Her lovers included Man Ray, she knew Cocteau and Picasso, and was an important surrealist. But it was her work in world war two that leads Lindsey Hilsum to claim her as Marie Colvin's spiritual ancestor. The producer in Bristol is Miles Warde Photo copyright www.leemiller.co.uk

Marie Colvin was one of the foremost war reporters of her generation, risking her life covering conflicts in Chechnya, East Timor, Kosovo, and the Middle East. Killed in an artillery attack in Syria in 2012, Colvin left behind a profound record of the victims of wars that she covered, and a reputation as an unflinching and nonconformist reporter.

This week on the Curzon Film Podcast, we're joined by The Sunday Times' Chief Foreign Correspondent to talk about A Private War, and Joe Cornish drops by to tell us about his new children's fantasy epic, The Kid Who Would Be King. We start with A Private War, a biopic following the life and work of Marie Colvin, an iconic foreign correspondent who reported from some of the most dangerous conflict zones in the world – from Sri Lanka to Syria and Iraq – risking her life to reveal the truth about unjust regimes and humanitarian crimes. A Private War avoids biopic cliches and instead asks troubling questions about the sacrifices made by Colvin and war reporters alike.Christina Lamb is Chief Foreign Correspondent at The Sunday Times, where Marie Colvin spent much of her career. Lamb and Colvin were colleagues and friends, and so we visited Lamb at her London office to discuss the film, the reality of life as a foreign correspondent, and her memories of Colvin.Later in the episode we discuss Joe Cornish's The Kid Who Would Be King, a modern day re-imagining of the Sword in the Stone legend. Alex is just like any other twelve year old, until he retrieves the legendary Excalibur. Paired with the wizard Merlin (inexpertly hiding himself as a 16 year old boy), he must face his destiny, marshal his friends and defeat the enchantress Morgana, all before tea time.Director Joe Cornish joins us to talk about all things fantastical, and his hopes for this highly original take on a well known classic tale.Discussing the films this week are Kelly Powell, Sam Howlett, Jake Cunningham and Steven RyderFollow the team on Social Media:@ks_powell - Kelly@jakehcunningham - Jake@irma_pep - Steven@SamHowlett_1 - SamProduced by Jake CunninghamEdited by Mark Towers Hosted on Acast.

All eyes were on Libya this week as rebels entered Tripoli and battled Colonel Gaddafi's loyalist soldiers. Sky's correspondent Alex Crawford broadcast extraordinary scenes as she rode into Tripoli on the back of a rebel convoy, sending her report using a satellite and laptop plugged into the truck's cigarette lighter. But which news organisations have provided the best analysis and how well informed can viewers really be about the rapidly changing events? Sky News's Head of International News Sarah Whitehead and the BBC's World News Editor Jon Williams explain the challenges involved. Professor Tim Luckhurst, who has been watching coverage of Libya as the situation unfolds, discusses how well audiences are served by print, radio and rolling TV news. Channel 4's International Editor Lindsey Hilsum, who is currently reporting from Tripoli, discusses how this conflict differs from those she has covered in the past and Marie Colvin of the Sunday Times, who is also in Libya, explains how newspaper reporters can delve further into a story by being less conspicuous than TV crews in dangerous territory.
