With no shortage of conflicts in today's world, journalists covering war zones provide indispensable reporting and analysis, often at great personal risk. Few war correspondents have more experience covering conflict than CNN'S Clarissa Ward, who has covered conflicts from Afghanistan to Ukraine, to Syria and Gaza, reporting from the world's hot spots providing first-hand accounts of violent conflicts and their impact on civilians. Most recently, Clarissa and her crew were detained by an armed militia in Darfur. What does it take to cover conflict? How does reporting on one conflict differ from another? And how do journalists witnessing the horrors of violent conflict keep their own emotions and feelings out of the story? Join Aaron David Miller as he sits down with Clarissa Ward to discuss the challenges and travails of reporting from some of the world's most dangerous conflict areas.

Photographer Anastasia Taylor-Lind and writer Alisa Sopova create intimate, accessible portraits of Ukrainian civilians living close to the frontlines of the Russian invasion. Sometimes their subjects are picnicking in a park or tending a garden. Other times, they're repairing a ceiling damaged by shelling or waiting for departure on an evacuation train. Anastasia and Alisa have been working together in Ukraine since the Maidan Revolution, also known as the “Revolution of Dignity” in 2014. And over the years, they've returned to visit the same families, witnessing how the war touches men, women, and children over time.

Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank have long felt abandoned by the world, facing deadly, low-intensity conflict with Israel. The October 7th attacks and the brutal response have made it impossible to imagine a return to the previous, unstable status quo. But all wars end, and survivors, especially Gaza's youth, will bear lasting scars. Could this tragedy lead to a better future and even a Palestinian state, or will the crisis persist? Our guest, Italian war reporter Francesca Borri, has lived in the West Bank since 2007, respected by both Arabs and Israelis. Notably, she was the first Western journalist to interview Yahya Sinwar, facilitating direct talks between Hamas and Israel.
For the last five years, Popular Front has been shaking up the way many of us view reporting from conflict zones. It gives its followers an up-close-and-personal view, going inside globally reported stories like Hong Kong's 2019 umbrella protests and narco-militias in Mexico, as well as lesser-known battlegrounds like the illicit 3D printing of firearms in Europe. Jake Hanrahan, its founder, came into journalism with no formal training during VICE's heyday, and quickly became a correspondent covering conflict in Kurdistan, Ukraine, and elsewhere. This week on Whale Hunting, Bradley Hope chats to Jake about his unconventional path into journalism, and what led him to set up a grassroots war reporting organization. They also discuss the delicate balancing act of gaining access to stories while remaining authentic, the challenges of making independent media on a shoestring, and why Jake doesn't care about scoops. Mentioned in this week's episode: Popular Front, a grassroots media organisation that focuses solely on war and conflict: https://www.popularfront.co/ Jake's newest documentary project, Away Days, which tells “hidden stories from the fringes of society”: https://www.awaydays.tv/ For more from Whale Hunting, make sure to follow the podcast – and subscribe to our newsletter at whalehunting.projectbrazen.com.

The Dublin-born correspondent of The Times became synonymous with the work of the war reporter in the 19th century. By David Murphy, Maynooth University.
Gloria Laker Aciro was a teenager when war upended her family's life in Northern Uganda. The Lord's Resistance Army, led by the infamous Joseph Kony, were known for their brutality, and for kidnapping children and making them child soldiers or child brides. As a young displaced person, Aciro became a journalist so the world would know about the suffering in Northern Uganda: The abductions, killings, the ambushes, the destruction. But after a few years, she wondered if focusing on bloodshed was the right approach. What if journalists like her could help bring peace to the country? Today, Aciro is director of the Peace Journalism Foundation of East Africa. Peace Journalism -- as you might remember from one of our previous episodes -- is when editors and reporters make choices that improve the prospects for peace. She covers peace and conflict, refugee issues, and the environment, and trains journalists around East Africa in peace journalism. Aciro was a finalist for the 2022 Women Building Peace Award given by the United States Institute of Peace. And in 2019, she received a Golden Jubilee Medal awarded by Ugandan President Yoweri, for her coverage of the LRA conflict and her contributions to current peace efforts in Northern Uganda. Aciro sat down with Making Peace Visible Education Director Steven Youngblood to reflect on her decades in the field in Uganda, and the real impact of peace journalism in the face of war and gang violence. Music in this episode by Xylo-Ziko and Joel Cummins. ABOUT THE SHOW The Making Peace Visible podcast is hosted by Jamil Simon and produced by Andrea Muraskin, with help from Faith McClure.

Christopher McDougall wasn't even a runner when he came across the Tarahumara Indians of Mexico. He'd been told he was too big. He'd be better off guarding the President or riding a bike than running. But what he found not only changed his life, but those of thousands of runners across the globe. In 2009, Christopher published his now famous book on the Tarahumara, 'Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Super Athletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen'. Not only did it uncover the secrets of the Tarahumara, who could run incredible distances in super fast times, it opened up his eyes to a whole new way of running. Christopher has gone on to write two more masterpieces on running, 'Natural Born Heroes' and 'Running With Sherman'. But Running Tales wanted to find out a little bit more about the man behind the books that have inspired so many runners all over the world - and caused headaches among those in the big shoe companies. We spoke to Christopher about how his father both embarrassed and inspired him by running laps round his school and going on to run three hour 30 marathons while in his 60s, his life as a war correspondent, and what is it like running with donkeys... -------------------------------- Visit Christopher's website at https://www.chrismcdougall.com/ to find out more about his work and writing.

One way to cover war is to follow the road offered by the dominant army. In Afghanistan, that often meant journalists were embedded with U.S. or NATO troops, and saw the war and the world around it through their eyes. Guest Bette Dam is a Dutch journalist who covered the war in Afghanistan for 15 years. She began her coverage in 2006, embedded with the Dutch troops fighting there. She's the author of two books: Looking for the Enemy, Mullah Omar and the Unknown Taliban, and A Man in a Motorcycle, How Hamid Karzai Came to Power. Dam also teaches a class called "Unlearning Afghanistan" at Sciences Po in Paris, and is working on a PhD at the Vrije Universiteit in Brussels on the role of media in conflict. In the course of her reporting Dam realized that most Western journalists were providing a distorted view of the war. It left out the perspective of the Afghan people, and made the country appear more dangerous than it really was. And Dam says the press missed opportunities to hold the U.S. and NATO to account for major blunders – including overlooking the fact that the Taliban surrendered in December 2001. More than 2,000 have died and over 9,000 have been injured in an earthquake that hit western Afghanistan on Saturday, October 7. Dam is partnering with Sense of Humanity and Learn Afghanistan to raise funds for medical aid, food and shelter.

I won awards covering Iraq but my Iraqi colleague lost everything.
It's been a year since Russia invaded Ukraine, driving millions from their homes and plunging the country into war. The sacrifice Ukrainians have had to make is huge as brave country continues to resist. But it's not all about fighting and warfare. The scale of human tragedy – yet also of hope – is hard to fathom. Thankfully, we can catch a glimpse of what's going on in Ukraine thanks to the work of many freelance journalists risking life and limb to bring us the latest news. Host John Beauchamp speaks to journalist and documentary maker Paweł Kwiecień about his many trips to Ukraine in 2022, what he witnessed, and what he thinks the future holds…
“Ukraine has achieved irreversible momentum.” -- US General Ben Hodges, Retired, November 3, 2022 “From a military standpoint, I still maintain that for this year it would be very, very difficult to militarily eject the Russian forces from every inch of Russian-occupied Ukraine.” -- US General Mark Milley, January 20, 2023In the episode, we look at the nature of wartime reporting and investigate how the circumstances of the Russia-Ukraine in February 2023 have changed so much that previous assumptions in 2022 are likely no longer true. Russia seems to have succeeded in its mobilization efforts in the Fall and are currently applying pressure on the Ukrainian front. Ukraine is due to receive modern NATO battle tanks and field a more capable army than the one which defeated the Russians last year at Kharkiv and Kherson last Autumn. How are these changes going to affect the battlefield going forward? What does each side need to attain their objectives? This episode looks at historical parallels into the past to help understand the current strategic position and what to look forward in May and June when both sides will likely launch offensives.

Our guest this episode has some advice for international journalists working abroad: "If you work with local journalists, give them a byline - they're not your free fixers. The security of locals is more important than any story. And YOU, international journalist, you are not the story." And she would know. Award-winning journalist and communications consultant Zaina Erhaim comes from Idlib in northern Syria. And she got started in journalism covering the Syrian revolution and the civil war that followed. Her reporting made her a target, and she left Syria in 2016. She now lives in the UK, where she continues to mentor Syrian journalists and report on the Middle East. In this interview she shares razor sharp insights into reporting on conflict, while upholding the dignity of sources and collaborators. This episode was originally published in August, 2022.

In the news media, war receives more attention than peace. But some wars get more attention than others. From November 2020 to November 2022, a civil war bloodier than Russia's war in Ukraine was fought in Tigray, a region in northern Ethiopia. Hundreds of thousands of lives were lost, and millions were displaced. Yet depending on where you get your news, you may have heard very little about it. One reason for the shortage of coverage was the communications blackout in Tigray. Ethiopia's government shut down internet and phone communications across the region, and barred journalists from entering war zones. But that didn't stop our guest. Freelance journalist Lucy Kassa investigated some of the worst atrocities of the conflict, including those carried out by all sides. Her reporting helped show the world that Ethiopian troops' actions inside Tigray amounted to an ethnic cleansing campaign. Her articles have been published in major international outlets, including The Guardian, Al Jazeera, and the LA Times. While a peace deal was signed in November, Lucy continues to investigate reports of human rights violations in Tigray.

Najnowszy odcinek podcastu #2historykow1mikrofon pt. "Kłopotliwe zdjęcia" jest już dostępny online. Pretekstem do naszej rozmowy była lektura książki znanego austriackiego dziennikarza i pisarza, Martina Pollacka. Zwrócił on uwagę na internetowy handel zdjęciami z okresu II wojny światowej, które ukazują zbrodniarzy i ich ofiary. Nas szczególnie zainteresował problem obchodzenia się z tego typu materiałami, względy historyczne, prawne i etyczne. Wskazywaliśmy na konieczność uwzględniania kontekstu przy wykorzystywaniu artefaktów dawnych dyktatur i odpowiednie przygotowanie do ich odbioru w tracie edukacji szkolnej. Uznaliśmy, że jest to temat szeroki i ważny, do którego warto będzie jeszcze wrócić. Ponadto podzieliśmy się uwagami o ewaluacji dyscyplin, zwłaszcza znaczeniu III kryterium (czyli o wpływie nauki na środowisko). Ogłosiliśmy też mały konkurs na jedną z publikacji. Zachęcamy do wzięcia w nim udziału. Na odpowiedzi czekamy do 15 sierpnia. Zapraszamy do słuchania i komentowania...

Some are already calling the invasion of Ukraine a turning point in world history. How we react is shaped by the media coverage - and most of what we get comes from outlets in countries that have taken sides. Does this matter? And how are both sides making the media a part of the battle plans? Mediawatch asks two offshore experts in international journalism and conflict.

Bernd Debusmann was a young Reuters bureau chief when Lebanon imploded into civil war and anarchy in the 1970s, during which Syria and Hafez al-Assad became intimately involved the conflict. This talented and daring journalist took to war-torn Beirut like a duck to water, risking his life to interview combatants on all sides and civilians caught in the cross-fire, eventually running afoul of the Assad regime for reporting on their intervention in Lebanon and atrocities committed in Syria. This prompted Syrian intelligence officers to threaten his life. Several Western journalists fled Lebanon after receiving similar death threats, but Bernd stubbornly refused to be intimidated. The Assad regime then resorted to, "censorship by bullet" and attempted to assassinate him in 1980. Bernd survived and still walks around with a bullet in his back, to this day. And that wasn't even the first time he got shot in Lebanon. You won't want to miss this incredible interview with a man who frequently put his life on the line to inform the public and now shares valuable insight on a bygone era. The Lebanese Civil War and Syria's role in the conflict are largely forgotten today, but their long-term consequences reverberate into the present day.

Vladimir Putin has managed to mislead Russia's citizens about his murderous war against the people of Ukraine. That's what happens when a dictator threatens and muzzles the news media. Western nations can see and hear the truth thanks to journalists who risk their lives everyday. Veteran journalist, editor and professor Rem Rieder discusses the importance of courageous reporting with "Hot Media" host Bob Mann.
When presidents become TikTok stars, influencers report live from bomb shelters and photographers capture the unimaginable, we find ourselves in March 2022 and a war is raging in Europe. Today, the power of images is a decisive factor in the development of wars. During the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine their power is used by very different actors with various intentions. Spreading disinformation and manipulating visual media for propaganda is one of them. So is the need to inform people outside of Ukraine and call for awareness and empathy. Therefore, it is time to analyze the power of images and discuss the responsibilities that comes with their production, consumption and sharing. How do we handle images of war in Social Media, and how much reality can a photograph catch after all? Daniela Apaydin (IDM) talks to Daniela Ingruber, war researcher and media theorist at the Austrian Democracy Lab, University of Continuing Education Krems.

America's air campaign against terrorism in the Middle East was one of the most precise in history, according to military officials and media reports at the time. But award-winning investigative journalist Azmat Khan did not believe what she read in the papers. So, she decided to find the truth for herself. She put her body on the line and crisscrossed war zones to figure out how America's wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were actually going. We discuss tricks of the trade: how Azmat shook off Iraqi officials who were on her tail, how she distinguished between ISIS fighters and civilians, and how she built relationships with her sources. We meet the most important source in her life, Basim Razzo, an Iraqi man who lost his family in a U.S. drone strike. He was labeled, incorrectly, as a member of ISIS. We also go to a place Azmat does not like to visit (at least not in public): her inner life. Living between war and peace takes a real emotional toll.

Episode 152 breaks down propaganda. Systematic effort to propagate or win support for a theory or method of action. ideas, facts, or allegations spread deliberately to further one's cause or to damage an opposing cause. One would assume that the vast majority of the masses are well aware of propaganda and its negative effects. However, this isn't the case, as the vast majority of people continue to be turned into daily propaganda and are under severe mind control. Propaganda is one of the many tools of control that the Nephilim and the elite bloodlines leverage over the masses. If not for our idolatry, propaganda would not be a tool that could be used against us to our detriment. Idolatry has allowed for genocide, war, tyranny and a plethora of other harmful and evil tactics used to cause trauma to the masses. We are witnessing arguably, the largest form of worldwide propaganda, with today's so-called “pandemic.” The Mark of The Beast is being marketed 24/7, 365 within Babylon. The propaganda will only continue until the truth is fully exposed and the next steps are in order for the world ahead. The New World Order. It's time that we wake up and snap back into reality. Our lives depend on it. It's up to The Most High's righteous people to warn those around them about the world's evil, wickedness, and idolatry. It's up to The Most High's righteous people to share the wisdom, knowledge, and understanding of The Most High. Ezekiel 33: [8-9]. Without the Laws, Statutes, and Commandments of The Most High, we'll only continue to be given calamity throughout our lives. All praises to The Most High.

ABOUT DAVID LOYN AND THE LONG WARTHE LONG WAR: The Inside Story of America and Afghanistan Since 9/11 (St. Martin's Press, on sale October 5, 2021, $29.99), by award-winning foreign correspondent David Loyn, tells the most complete and detailed story yet on the 20-year campaign in Afghanistan - America's longest war.At first, it was easy for the U.S. to defeat the Taliban with overwhelming air power. However, they've risen again amid general discontent across Afghanistan, coupled with rampant corruption and instability within the government in Kabul. Eight Generals (seven American, one British) led the war against the Taliban. Loyn interviewed Generals David Petraeus, Stanley McChrystal, David McKiernan, and Dan McNeill at length about their leadership during the war. Collectively, their military experience dated as far back as Vietnam; however, they now found themselves tested as never before. McChrystal, for instance, had the reputation of a "warrior monk," and was considered one of the most gifted military leaders of his generation. So where did they all go wrong?THE LONG WAR uncovers failures at the beginning of the war that made long-term engagement inevitable, arguing that the decision to rely on a "light footprint," and give large amounts of cash to tribal warlords allowed fractures to emerge, and created a vacuum shortly after the initial defeat of the Taliban. That alone was a recipe for prolonging the war and made necessary the need for a much larger ground force. In addition, the U.S. failure to understand the context of its relationship with these warlords resulted in the blocking of a functioning country (that had its own skilled army with the ability to defend itself), and an honorable elected government (not one that ended up rife with massive corruption).If that wasn't enough, the distraction of the simultaneous plan for war in Iraq led to a loss of focus on stabilizing the government in Kabul and the nation as a whole. It soon became the "other war," at least until the Obama administration ordered a 2010 surge in U.S. troops to defend the gains initially made there in 2001-2002.Afghanistan was the only war in NATO's 70-year history which began under its founding principle: an attack on one is considered an attack on all. Holding together this intricate web after 9/11 was a unique leadership challenge, calling on highly developed political and military skills. Throughout these two decades, the generals had to fight the Taliban while juggling the political rhetoric coming from Washington D.C., Brussels, and Kabul. And, they had to lead troops in the field while grappling with the multi-dimensional puzzles of the most significant geopolitical event of the new century.Full of in-depth interviews with the four-star generals who commanded the international coalition of troops - at its peak 150,000 strong, 100,000 of them Americans - THE LONG WAR provides the most vivid inside story yet written of the challenges they all faced during the combat years. It explains the deteriorating situation on the ground and the complex challenges of protecting the lives of thousands of American and European soldiers, all while facing down intense criticism from the public and political leaders.David Loyn, who covered Afghanistan intensely for years as a reporter for the BBC, and then later as a U.S. government-funded strategic communication advisor to the Afghan president, is as versed as any media expert on both modern day Afghanistan as well as centuries of the country's conflicts."Former BBC journalist Loyn turns a gimlet eye on the war in Afghanistan, the longest in the history of the U.S. Loyn's pages are steeped in tragic misinterpretation and always with a sympathy for ordinary people who deserved much better. Well-executed and dispiriting study of imperial overreach and cultural collision." -Kirkus Reviews (starred)RECENT DAVID LOYN ARTICLE ON WHAT WENT WRONG IN AFGHANISTAN (FROM SPECTATOR)https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/what-went-wrong-in-afghanistan ABOUT DAVID LOYNDavid Loyn was an award-winning foreign correspondent for 30 years for the BBC.

Martin Bell, is a British UNICEF Ambassador, a former broadcast war reporter and former independent politician who became the Member of Parliament for Tatton from 1997 to 2001. He is known throughout the UK as "the man in the white suit". Martin is someone I've wished to interview for a number years, someone who unbeknownst to him has influenced my own political thinking. Martin is the true example of an Independent politician, we discuss his own journey. From working for the BBC in some of the worlds worst conflicts and his learnings from those days, to his dramatic entry into British politics and taking the safe Conservative seat of Tatton in dramatic fashion. Hear the background of how 24 days before the 1997 Election both the Liberal Democrats and Labour stood aside for Martin. Hear reflections of how he was received and his own personal achievements. We also discuss how Journalism in the UK now does a disservice to reporting, especially on the plight of many in places such as sub-Saharan Africa. Martin now uses his platform as a UNICEF Ambassador and raises funds to tackle the victims of War and Conflict around the world. A truly remarkable man!

Journalist Robert Fisk has spent the past 40 years living in war zones, covering conflict in the Middle East. He's dedicated to being on the ground and on the frontlines, and this commitment has landed him several scoops including face-to-face interviews with Osama Bin Laden. His sometimes controversial career is the focus of This Is Not A Movie, a new documentary by Canadian director Yung Chang. The film is playing at the Doc Edge Festival, which will be online only this year and runs between Friday 12 June and Sunday 5 July.
The role of the BBC has been under the spotlight during the Coronavirus pandemic; for many it has been a vital source of news and information. Some critics have accused the Corporation of both scaremongering and playing down the crisis.We are approaching the 75th Anniversary of VE Day - the end of the Second World War in Europe. The BBC's role as a public service broadcaster had already been tested during the General Strike of 1926; should it be a government mouthpiece, as Winston Churchill thought at the time, or should remain a neutral voice - as the then Director-General, Lord Reith thought?In 1939 the BBC faced a new challenge. Should it be a flag-waving cheerleader or a voice of impartiality? Here's how Auntie Beeb came of age in the Second World War.
Yung Chang's documentaries have looked at China's modernization, exotic fruit cultivators, and more. Now, in This Is Not a Movie, he turns his sights on Robert Fisk, Middle East correspondent for The Independent newspaper. Fisk has covered some of the region's most harrowing conflicts in his more-than-40-year career. Chang spoke to Colin Ellis on making a doc about someone with a controversial reputation, having a subjective point of view in journalism, Fisk's criticism of social media, and more.
This week's podcast is Number Twelve in our multi-week “Story/Backstory” project, which explores Washington's current policies in the Middle East, and the Middle East itself, in a broader historical perspective. It is a complement to a column by Just World Ed President Helena Cobbanthat ran May 8th on the Mondoweiss website, “Thinking fast and slow in reporting Israeli-Gaza fighting”, in which she drew on her own long background as a reporter in war and conflict situations. There's a handy "Checklist for anti-Palestinian reporting bias" that's posted on our blog, that goes along with this package, as well.In this episode, Cobban delves even deeper into the matter of anti-Palestinian reporting bias in the U.S. corporate media, and starts to explore steps that can be taken to reduce or even (we hope!) eliminate it.Support the show (http://justworldeducational.org/donate/)

The experience of managing information in the First World War shaped how Britain and Germany would control propaganda in the next conflict. Both sought to influence their own populations and also third parties such as the USA. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Initially, all sides in the First World War were wary and suspicious of journalists, fearing they would give away vital intelligence or impede the progress of the war. Later, as the conflict dragged on, politicians in Britain, but not British generals, began to see the propaganda value of journalism. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
