In commemoration of its forty-fifth anniversary, Columbia Journalism Review is publishing a unique oral history of the war in Iraq as seen through the eyes of some 50 journalists who covered it. This panel discussion will feature some of those journalists who shared their stories for the special November issue and cover story, "Into the Abyss: Reporting Iraq, 2003-2006: An Oral History." The article is a stunning narrative of both the war itself and of the working life of the people who report it, their triumphs and failures, their insights and anecdotes.
Featured panelists will include:
- Deborah Amos, foreign correspondent, NPR and ABC News; and author of Lines in the Sand: Desert Storm and the Remaking of the Arab World
- Rajiv Chandrasekaran, assistant managing editor/former Baghdad bureau chief, Washington Post; and author of Imperial Life in the Emerald City
- Ali Fadhil, physician and translator who has collaborated with journalists from The Financial Times, Time, The New Yorker, and NPR, among others
- Patrick Graham, freelance journalist who spent a year with the Iraqi resistance in Fallujah. His work has appeared in The London Observer, Harper's, and others.
- Chris Hondros, photojournalist whose work has appeared on the covers of numerous magazines and papers such as Newsweek and The Economist.
The panel will be moderated by CJR publisher Evan Cornog, associate dean for academic affairs at Columbia's Graduate School of Journalism.
