On the Media

Iraq's Accidental Journalists

Wed, 28 Mar 2018

Description

Last week marked the fifteenth anniversary of the night of “Shock and Awe” exploding across the night sky over Baghdad, the opening salvo in an ongoing war. It was a deadly conflict to cover and foreign reporters increasingly relied on Iraqis to take the risks on the ground. Back in 2006, Brooke spoke to three Iraqis who were pulled into journalism by a trick of fate and caught up in the wave of correspondents pouring in from the West. Then, we caught up with them years later.  On the Media is supported by listeners like you. Support OTM by donating today (https://pledge.wnyc.org/support/otm).
