Jane Ferguson
On this episode of Agitation Nation, host David Fenton talks with war correspondent Jane Ferguson, author of the memoir No Ordinary Assignment and founder of Noosphere, the platform Sky News has now licensed. Ferguson spent fifteen years reporting from Yemen, Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan, mostly embedded with insurgents rather than armies. She explains what her correspondent inside Gaza endures to file a single story, why journalists there have stopped putting their names on their work, why she says refusing to use the word genocide is now a political choice, and why the foreign bureaus are never coming back.
