Names Not Numbers

FRONT LINE REPORTING


Listen Later

To mark the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the start of the "Great War" we look at how reportage of war has changed, how it is impacted by the images of war, both moving and still, and the politics of war. Is the role of the journalist and photographer always simply to record events without judging or intervening? Did the death of the late Marie Colvin of The Sunday Times mark a tipping point in the journalist-as-campaigner, and did her impassioned reports about Homs in Syria eventually led, this year, to some reprieve for its people? Recorded live at Editorial Intelligence’s annual ideas festival Names Not Numbers. Co-curated and held in association with GQ.
