Reporting Iraq
The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010
News outlets tell us what is happening in Iraq, but they rarely reveal anything about what it's like to be the person getting the stories. Reporting Iraq offers a narrative history of the war from the March 2003 invasion through the summer of 2006 as seen through the eyes of fifty reporters, photographers, translators, and stringers on the ground. Leonard speaks with contributor Richard Engel live from Iraq, along with editor John Palattella and New York Times reporter Anne Barnard. They'll share their first-person accounts, revealing new insights both on the war itself and the way the international press has been covering it.
