Listening Post - Media 'vultures': Covering life and death

  • 11 years ago
We examine the global media's swing from impending death in South Africa to anticipated birth in the UK. We speak to CBC Foreign Correspondent Susan Ormiston; Catherine Mayer, Europe editor for Time Magazine; NOS (Netherlands) correspondent Arjen Van Der Horst; and Stefano Radaelli, senior researcher for Media Tenor (South Africa). In our feature: Sixty years ago this week North and South Korea called a truce to end their war but uneasy peace has left not only a demilitarised zone but an information blockade. The Listening Post's Gouri Sharma investigates citizen journalist defectors who help shed light on a shuttered nation.
