Michael Kirkhorn , Director of the Journalism Program at Gonzaga University, questions the role journalists should assume as moral arbiters. Mark Lewis , a former Voice of America correspondent, offers a glimpse at how VOA brings news to Balkan listeners. Reflections from Balkan journalists , compiled from excerpts of their Internet correspondence, follow. Then photographer David Brauchli shows in his images and tells in his words what it's been like to cover this story. Finally, journalists talk about how they cope with their emotional reactions while reporting on the casualties and cruelties of war.
Journalists then address the topic of press freedom and media responsibility.
Ugandan newspaper editor Charles Onyango-Obbo reports on how his government took him to court as an act of intimidation after an unfavorable story was published. Wilson Wanene , a Kenyan-born freelance journalist, writes about a media journal in Kenya that is keeping a watchful eye on how doggedly journalists are using their emerging press freedom. And Dimitri Mitropoulos , a political correspondent for To Vima, a newspaper in Athens, uses the experience in Greece to offer insight into how media might handle the arrival of Balkan refugees into their countries.
