The obstacles and dangers of reporting on Syria

Clip: 10/23/2014 | 7m 36s

Covering conflict overseas has become prohibitively dangerous for many news organizations.

Telling the stories of conflict in Syria and Iraq has become prohibitively dangerous for many news organizations; more than 70 journalists have been killed while covering the Syrian war. While a few international reporters remain in the country, much of the reporting is now done from the outside. Hari Sreenivasan talks to Deborah Amos of NPR and John Daniszewski of the Associated Press.
