BBC Radio 4: Why do foreign correspondents capture the imagination?
July 30th, 2009Posted by Judith Townend in Editors' pick, Journalism
A nice segment from the Radio 4 Today programme this morning:
“A novel about a group of journalists in Africa has made the nominations for this year’s Booker prize. Not Untrue and Not Unkind tells the story of their friendship, rivalry and betrayal. The book’s author and former foreign correspondent, Ed O’Loughlin, and foreign correspondent Martin Bell, discuss why foreign correspondents attract so much interest.”
