"I can say out loud, and I'm proud, I am a journalist who's biased towards peace. I want to do stories that help achieve peace in my very small and often insignificant way. There are nuances that the American citizen needs to understand... before agreeing to spend more money to bomb another country or intervene militarily."
-- Reza Sayah on Making Peace Visible
A bias towards peace
with Reza Sayah
EPISODE NOTES
Reza Sayah is an Iranian-American journalist, currently based in Teheran. He’s reported on major events around the world including the Ukrainian Revolution of 2004, the Second Iraq War, and the Egyptian Revolution.
Reza has spent much of his career working for major broadcast news networks including ABC, CNN, and Al Jazeera. In those roles, he’s had to explain complicated conflicts - in the form of very brief segments. And he says the corporate news model often works to perpetuate conflicts. But, another way is possible.
