Frontline World: Requiem airs March 27 on PBS


Just scored a very poignant installment of Frontline World. It pays tribute to reporters from across the globe who have been killed, jailed, or exiled for daring to speak the truth to the powers-that-be. Last year, 2006, was one of the deadliest years on record for journalists, and most did not die in combat. They were deliberately targeted, hunted down, and murdered, often in their homes or offices, for investigating corruption, crime, or human rights abuses. Margarita Dragon of Rain Media did an amazing job putting this story together--it moved me to tears.
