Summary:

What is the role of contemporary foreign correspondence? How does the profession tell stories of active conflict and make connections across time, space, politics, and people? Foreign correspondents have a crucial role to play in communicating our shared world of conflict, but their reporting often relies on stereotypes rooted in the profession's colonial history. In this book, Chrisanthi Giotis argues that decolonization is possible and necessary for the development of a truly global, public sphere.
