Podcast - Kevin Sites Reads from "In the Hot Zone"
(October 2007) One of the world's most respected war correspondents,
Kevin Sites spent five years covering global war and disaster for
several national networks. Kevin's new book, "In the Hot Zone: One
Man, One Year, Twenty Wars," chronicles the year he spent as a
pioneering Web journalist, posting multimedia dispatches from the
world's "hot zones." Kevin stopped by the IRC's office in New York
this month to speak with IRC staff and read from the book. In this
selection, he describes how he grappled with the best way to tell the
stories of child soldiers, of rapes and of poverty -- stories so
overwhelming they "often have the effect of shutting people down,
rather than helping them step up."
