*** The State We're In ***
Freeing the press: Gafaar Monro knows how hard it is to be a journalist in Darfur. The government controls much of the media and telling the truth there can get you killed. But he's found a way to reach people, through Radio Dabanga, which is headquartered in the Netherlands and broadcasts radio news via shortwave to Darfur and (Originally Broadcast 2 May 2009)
UNWANTED WITNESS: Jonathan speaks with Hollman Morris, a crusading Colombian television journalist, and the subject of the documentary "Unwanted Witness". His reporting shows how the so-called "war on drugs" has victimized the people of Colombia. It's also meant death threats and a difficult family life.
(Originally Broadcast 2 May 2009)
CHINA'S VELVET PRESS MUZZLE: China's government has a lot of heavy-handed ways of silencing its critics: spying, jail, torture. It also has another way: lunch. As contributor Karin Meirik discovered, invitations from government agents to dine can be just as effective in hiding the truth.
(Originally Broadcast 2 May 2009)
FRONT PAGE REGRET: Twenty years ago a terrorist group in Lebanon threatened to execute American hostage, Joseph Ciccipio. Canadian journalist Peter Kavanagh persuaded Ciccipio's sister to give an exclusive interview for his CBC television program. In this essay, he explains why he regrets what he did to this day.
(Originally Broadcast 5 May 2010)
HEART OF JENIN: Jonathan speaks with Ismael Khatib, a Palestinian father from the West Bank City of Jenin. When his son was shot by Israeli soldiers, Ismael surprised everyone by donating his son's organs to Israeli children. His story is portrayed in the documentary, "Heart of Jenin."
