Reporter de guerre (War reporter): Défense Zone Essentials collection (Fred Marie)

“Reporter de guerre” (War reporter), from the Défense Zone Essentials collection, by Fred Marie, is a practical handbook for those who are seriously considering going into in-depth reporting in conflict zones.

Without frills, this short guide provides essential pointers for understanding the realities on the ground, avoiding costly mistakes and preparing to practise this profession in extreme conditions. It passes on a culture of the trade, practical tools and ideas for building a career path, far from the usual fantasies about the profession.

The book also looks back at the careers of historic figures of war reporting such as Robert Capa, Marie Colvin and Lee Miller, whose commitment still sheds light today on journalistic practice on the front lines. Written by a professional reporter, with a foreword by Patrick Chauvel, this book serves as a compass for future war reporters.
