Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Journalists have always had to balance safety concerns with the inherent risks of getting the story in Iraq and Afghanistan. But reporters in places like Honduras and the Philippines are finding it increasingly difficult to do their job. We examine how violence against journalists ends up influencing media coverage.
