内容简介 This book offers an adventurous, smart, empathetic look at world conflict and the future of media by a pioneer in journalism who has spent the past year covering the most dangerous areas in the world - without a crew. As Yahoo!'s first news correspondent, Kevin Sites spent the last year covering every major global conflict for "Kevin Sites in the Hot Zone" on Yahoo! News. These areas of conflict are typically left uncovered or under-reported by mainstream news organizations. Sites bravely visited each one, often without help of any kind, and this book will delve further into the dramatic stories behind Sites' adventures.The reporting on display here is gripping and unforgettable, including an interview with an ex-U.S. Marine who is also the son of Somalia's most infamous warlord; the portrait of a former child soldier in the Congo who is rejected by his family and, with no other options, may have to take up the gun again at the tender age of 13; and an unsettling tour of Rwanda's "school of death."
But Sites goes beyond the stories here as well, describing his earlier career as a journalism pioneer and his vision of the future of media, one in which fearless, mobile reporters like himself regularly outdo the mainstream outlets and use the web to reach an ever-expanding audience.
作者简介 Kevin Sites has spent the past seven years covering global war and disasters for several national networks, including NBC, ABC, and CNN, and has helped pioneer solo journalism, traveling to and reporting from some of the world's most dangerous places. He is a recipient of the 2006 Daniel Pearl Award for Courage and Integrity in Journalism. When not on assignment, he makes his home in southern California.
