The Pennsylvania State University Schreyer Honors College
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. -

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. -

Future Directions for Educational Research Michael Samuel
Opening address at the 2014 SAERA conference Angels in the wind: future directions for educational research Michael Samuel (Chair of the Local Organizing Committee) Stanmeyer, John 2013. ‘Sign’, National Geographic An annual prestigious event in the calendar of professional press photographers, photojournalists and documentary photographers is the World Press Photo Award. This event in 2013 was co-ordinated by the World Press Photo Office in Amsterdam and attracted 98 671 submitted images by 5 754 photographers from 132 countries (http://www.worldpressphoto.org/awards/2014). The independent jury of judges for the 57th annual event selected this photograph above by John Stanmeyer, a USA journalist of the National Geographic as the wining photographic image in the category ‘Contemporary issues’. Stanmeyer had 148 Journal of Education, No. 61, 2015 simply titled his image ‘Sign’. It was accompanied by the explanation of his attempt to capture the challenges facing the would-be migrants alongside the coast of Djibouti (North East Africa). These haunting ‘army of shadows’ (RADAR Worldwide, 2014) reflects groups of prospective migrants who are aiming to make the journey to better life opportunities by crossing over the oceans into the Middle East or beginning the journey into Europe. Coming from the surrounding countries of Somalia, Ethiopia and Eritrea, this image depicts a new kind of Exodus facing the participants who stand alongside the shores searching for signals on the cellphones, aiming to connect a last call to family and friends back home, aiming to connect with the traffickers who had promised a safe passage (legal or not) into the lands of prospects. -
Winners of the Overseas Press Club Awards
2010 dateline SPECIAL EDITION CARACAS, VENEZUELA WINNERS OF THE OVERSEAS PRESS CLUB AWARDS dateline 2010 1 LETTERFROM THE PRESIDENT t the Overseas Press Club of America, we are marching through our 71st year insisting that fact-based, hard-news reporting from abroad is more important than ever. As we salute the winners of our 20 awards, I am proud to say their work is a tribute to the public’s right to know. As new forms of communication erupt, the incessant drumbeat of the A24-hour news cycle threatens to overwhelm the public desire for information by swamping readers and viewers with instant mediocrity. Our brave winners – and IS PROUD the news organizations that support them – reject the temptation to oversimplify, trivialize and then abandon important events as old news. For them, and for the OPC, the earthquakes in Haiti and Chile, the shifting fronts in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq, the drug wars of Mexico and genocides and commodity grabs in Africa need to be covered thoroughly and with integrity. TO SUPPORT The OPC believes quality journalism will create its own market. In spite of the decimation of the traditional news business, worthwhile journalism can and will survive. Creators of real news will get paid a living wage and the young who desire to quest for the truth will still find journalism viable as a proud profession and a civic good. We back that belief with our OPC Foundation, which awards 12 scholarships a year to deserving students who express their desire to become foreign correspondents while submitting essays on international subjects. -
