War correspondent Jane Ferguson pulls back the curtain on her career covering global conflicts : Hanaa'Tameez / NiemanLab
Interview shared by John Gilmartin
News Hour watchers will wonder where’s Jane Ferguson with the Gaza war? For about a year she’s been teaching war correspondence at Princeton, and therefore not covering this war. This is a long interview diving into the life of war reporting. I think its useful to know. The Ethiopian famine in the mid 1980s was an unknown event in the west until a BBC film crew was flight delayed in Addis Ababa airport on their way to some other country. They got bored and left the airport to get a little fresh air and do some local coverage. They were astonished to discover a biblical scale famine on the door step of the capitol city. Overnight it became compelling viewing and then a big story and then a massive relief effort.
