Your Call 110807 What Makes the War Real?

What do we see in still photos of the Iraq War that we miss in other forms of media? On the next Your Call, New York Times photojournalist Ashley Gilbertson joins us to discuss his photographic memoir of his time in Iraq called “Whiskey Tango Foxtrot.” We’ll also be joined by independent journalist Dahr Jamail, author of “Beyond the Green Zone: Dispatches from an Unembedded Journalist in Iraq.” What can we learn from journalists whose goal is to show what life is really like for Iraqis? And what do you want from coverage of a war? It’s Your Call with Sandip Roy and you.

Guests:
Dahr Jamail in San Francisco
Independent reporter and author of Beyond the Green Zone: Dispatches from an Unembedded Journalist in Occupied Iraq

Ashley Gilbertson in Washington DC
War photographer for the New York Times and author of Whiskey Tango Foxtrot
