Description: "Reporting from the Frontline is about personal experiences describing incidents behind the scenes from the main action. Many journalists spent weeks covering the unfolding events at Marikana, but many did not get the opportunity to tell their own stories. A large group of journalists, producers and television presenters gathered at the North West Platinum Mine when several deaths were reported and the violence broke out,  often discovering dead bodies themselves. Nicolaides'  story and account will take you to the heart of Marikana where journalists fought,  often their own emotions,  in order to deliver the bulletins." -- Publisher:  http://jacana.bookslive.co.za/blog/2014/10/21/gia-nicolaides-tells-the-untold-stories-from-the-marikana-massacre-in-reporting-from-the-frontline/
