If you want to get the whole narrative, you need to go deep into people\u2019s lives and situations. That\u2019s where the truth lies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During a career spanning more than 25 years, di Giovanni has reported from dozens of war zones, including Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Sierra Leone, and many more.<\/p>\n<p>But one of her most memorable experiences was working as a reporter during the Siege of Sarajevo in 1992. As she described in a 2012 TED Talk, a friend was walking to work one morning when she saw a tank driving down the city\u2019s main street, running over everything in its path. It was surreal. A few weeks later, this woman handed her infant to a stranger on a bus to get him out of the city.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a siege without water, without electricity, without heat, without food in the middle of Europe in the middle of the 20<sup>th<\/sup> century,\u201d she recalls. \u201cI had the honour of being one of the reporters who lived through that siege. I say \u2018the honour\u2019 because it taught me not just about being a reporter, but about being a human being.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Janine di Giovanni is currently a Fellow at Yale University\u2019s Jackson Institute of Global Affairs where\u00a0she teaches classes on human rights and war reporting. She has also written numerous books, including <em>The Morning They Came for Us: Dispatches from Syria<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a foreign correspondent, I find the Middle East endlessly fascinating. The ancient world, the literature, the people\u2026there is always so much happening there. It\u2019s never quiet,\u201d she says. \u201cI\u2019ve been going there for nearly 30 years and it never ceases to inspire me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In 2016, di Giovanni was awarded the Courage in Journalism Award from the International Women\u2019s Media Foundation for her distinguished work in war zones. Across the cultures and the continents, she\u2019s found similarities within countries at war.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe purpose of war is to destroy the fabric of society. They attack the institutions\u2014law, freedom of expression, human rights\u2014and besiege people with lack of water, food and electricity,\u201d she explains. \u201cAll of your trust and faith in fellow human beings disappears because you may be attacked by your neighbours or your friends. The social contract is broken.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Di Giovanni says she was particularly haunted by her experience in Rwanda, where one million people were slaughtered in a five-month period in 1994. But she continues to report on conflict.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI get sad and traumatized, but I would never give up, because I\u2019m not the victim of war crimes as they are,\u201d explains di Giovanni. \u201cThis work is partially a calling, but also my duty to humanity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n"}],"text_columns_background":"white","custom_block_title":""}],"add_thumbnail":"no"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/sjc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9664"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/sjc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/sjc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/sjc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/sjc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9664"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/sjc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9664\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9666,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/sjc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9664\/revisions\/9666"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/sjc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/7195"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/sjc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9664"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
