Clarissa Ward : Two thoughts…I really might die, this could be it… and what am I doing here?

Clarissa Ward was caught in a targeted suicide bomb attack whilst working in Iraq in 2005.    This week CNN’s nine-time Emmy award winning correspondent discusses how 9/11 changed the course of her career and life. From the challenges and advantages of being a female war journalist to becoming obsessed with the Syrian civil war, and the trauma of losing friends and colleagues in the field.   Her story about how she found herself singing for a group of women in Syria during an airstrike is also both poignant and moving.   Show Notes: On All Fronts: The Education of a Journalist Clarissa Ward Tug of War podcast hosted by Clarissa Ward @clarissaward Hosted on Acast.
