    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF JOURNALISM STORIES FROM THE FRONT LINES: FEMALE FOREIGN CORRESPONDENTS IN WAR ZONES JENNIFER CONNOR SUMMER 2011 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a baccalaureate degree in Journalism with honors in Journalism. Reviewed and approved* by the following: Tony Barbieri Foster Professor of Writing and Editing Thesis Supervisor Martin Halstuk Associate Professor Honors Adviser * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. ABSTRACT The purpose of this thesis is to examine the experience of women who cover war and conflict zones, with a special focus on those reporting in Iraq and Afghanistan. When western female war correspondents work in male-dominated cultures and situations of war, they encounter different challenges and advantages than male war correspondents. The level of danger associated with the assignments these women take on is evaluated in this thesis. Anecdotes from female war correspondents themselves, combined with outside analysis, reveal the types of situations unique to female war correspondents. More women choose to follow the story and witness history in the making by covering today‟s war and conflict zones. This trend parallels the greater presence of women in newsrooms, today. This thesis will shed light on what it means to be a female reporting on and working in dangerous conditions. i TABLE OF CONTENTS Part 1. Introduction……………………………………………………………………………....1 Part 2.

  • Wanting, Not Waiting
    WINNERSdateline OF THE OVERSEAS PRESS CLUB AWARDS 2011 Wanting, Not Waiting 2012 Another Year of Uprisings SPECIAL EDITION dateline 2012 1 letter from the president ne year ago, at our last OPC Awards gala, paying tribute to two of our most courageous fallen heroes, I hardly imagined that I would be standing in the same position again with the identical burden. While last year, we faced the sad task of recognizing the lives and careers of two Oincomparable photographers, Tim Hetherington and Chris Hondros, this year our attention turns to two writers — The New York Times’ Anthony Shadid and Marie Colvin of The Sunday Times of London. While our focus then was on the horrors of Gadhafi’s Libya, it is now the Syria of Bashar al- Assad. All four of these giants of our profession gave their lives in the service of an ideal and a mission that we consider so vital to our way of life — a full, complete and objective understanding of a world that is so all too often contemptuous or ignorant of these values. Theirs are the same talents and accomplishments to which we pay tribute in each of our awards tonight — and that the Overseas Press Club represents every day throughout the year. For our mission, like theirs, does not stop as we file from this room. The OPC has moved resolutely into the digital age but our winners and their skills remain grounded in the most fundamental tenets expressed through words and pictures — unwavering objectivity, unceasing curiosity, vivid story- telling, thought-provoking commentary.

Nonetheless she felt like someone close. Someone I could very easily be friends with and have a glass of wine talking about the last movie we saw. I had seen a few videos and interviews online featuring her relentless spirit, her uplifting attitude and restless photojournalistic mission. When I read her book, “It’s What I Do”, I felt even more interested in her work and her persona. She was a champion of focus, commitment and bravery paired with positive attitude and a very human heart. We also had some things in common. She is a freelance working mom, like me, more or less my age. We share friends on Facebook, and often read and “like” the same articles on photography and news. However, Lynsey, for me, is a heroine. She travels the world non-stop to be a witness to social injustice, war and humanitarian tragedies and many other neglected issues, giving voice to people and light to places, that are left in the shadow when the media frenzy fades.

Now in its sixth year, the Clough Center has established itself as an interdisciplinary, innovative institution that seeks to reinvigorate and transform the study of the many facets of constitutional democracy. Our approach to the study of constitutionalism is holistic in nature and global in reach, as we foster original research and welcome thoughtful reflection on the promise and challenges of constitutional government in the United States and around the world. In this process, and in keeping with the vision of our benefactors and friends, Gloria and Chuck Clough, the Center offers life-changing educational opportunities to students at Boston College, at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. We aim to create a nurturing and vibrant intellectual environment for the entire academic community, and the public generally. At a time when public debate is too often distorted by the spin-room mentality, the fate of political communities committed to the ideals of freedom, dignity, and equality depends in large measure on learning the skills of civic engagement and thoughtful dialogue.

It is the first solely photographic cultural destination in the Los Angeles area. The Photography Space is an initiative of the Annenberg Foundation and its board of directors. Its creation builds upon the Foundation’s long history of supporting visual arts. EXHIBITS The Annenberg Space for Photography does not maintain a permanent collection of photographs; instead, exhibitions change every four to six months. The content of each show varies and appeals to a wide variety of audiences. DESIGN The interior of the Space is influenced by the mechanics of a camera and its lens. The central, circular Digital Gallery is contained within the square building much as a convex lens is contained within a camera. The Digital Gallery’s ceiling features an iris-like design reminiscent of the aperture of a lens. The aperture design also enhances the Gallery’s acoustics. The Print Gallery curves around the Digital Gallery, representing the way film scrolls within a camera. The curvature of the ceiling line in the Print Gallery mimics the design of a film canister.
