What Dangers Frontline Journalists Face, With Jane Ferguson

It takes extraordinary courage to be at the world’s front lines and report on the events that are often hard to look at: war, uprisings, crises, and insurgencies. Day and night, journalists had to fight their way for questions to be answered. They had to contend not only with the challenges from their physical environments but also from fighting for facts and the truth.

In this episode, J.R. Lowry sits with a remarkable guest who has been reporting from the world’s front lines. He is joined by Jane Ferguson, a special correspondent for PBS NewsHour, a contributor to The New Yorker, and a former journalist from CNN and Al Jazeera. Jane takes us across her journey beginning from growing up at a time of instability and how that influenced her to pursue a career in journalism.

She also talks about some of the stories she covered that took her from Sudan to Somalia to Yemen to Abu Dhabi and more, bootstrapping her way into very difficult places as a young journalist and covering undercover stories far from the competition.

Join Jane as she tells us her incredible experiences of navigating the turmoil of the world, all for the drive to deliver the stories that need to be shared.
