Kosmopolis
Jon Lee Anderson and Martín Caparrós
Wars and Hunger
Debate
How do you write about the urgency of a war, the weight of famine, the ins and outs of a dictatorship? How do you make something that is very distant suddenly very close? Sometimes the best journalism happens on the edges; sometimes it is a form of literature. American Jon Lee Anderson and Argentinian Martín Caparrós, two of today’s most clear-sighted chroniclers, discuss a profession that has taken them around the world: its tools, its challenges, its secrets and its limits.
Participants: Jon Lee Anderson, Martín Caparrós
