The Price of News: The Challenges Female Arab Journalists Face

You are here: Home / Archive / Feature Stories / The Price of News: The Challenges Female Arab Journalists Face
Published: August 25, 2019 by VPR Producer

Diversity in reporting is vital to news that showcases differing perspectives. We speak with Zahra Hankir, journalist and author of the new book, Our Women on the Ground, to learn more about some of the courageous female journalists who’ve risked their lives to report from within the Middle East during tumultuous periods. These women defy terrorists, the government and break traditional norms to share what they’re seeing, hearing and experiencing from the ground.
