The challenge of reporting from Russia as a new Iron Curtain descends - Interview with James Rodgers

Reporting from Russia has never been easy. But now when there is little agreement or collaboration on any issue between Russia and the West, that task has become near impossible. But so much of the West’s understanding of Russia comes from the work of Foreign Correspondents – and I am hoping that my guest today can help to put the current events into a broader historical context. James Rodgers is an Associate Professor in International Journalism and Assistant Vice-President of Global Engagement at City, University of London. He is an academic, veteran journalist, and author of the fascinating book “Assignment Moscow – Reporting on Russia from Lenin to Putin.” He has also written incisively about reporting on the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict and is an expert on the reporting of armed conflict, and journalism in history. He is also widely published in online and print publications, and academic journals, including NBC Think, History Today, The New European, and The British Journalism Review.
