Sand, Lies and Videotape
Reporting from a war zone is always challenging. During the war in Iraq, reporters endured trying physical conditions, wrestled with a tightlipped and perhaps less than truthful US Central Command, and struggled to bring perspective as television aired the war live. Donna Leinwand, who recently returned from almost four months in the Persian Gulf for USA Today, will discuss how these challenges and opportunities shaped the war picture.
"Sand, Lies, and Videotape: A Reporter's Notebook from the War in Iraq" will be held at the DC Jewish Community Center, 1529 16th St. NW, at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, July 1. Admission is $4 for members, $7 for nonmembers, and includes a light reception. For more information or to register, call Stacy Immerman at 202/777-3238 or send an e-mail.
DC Metro Action is published by Michael Schlesinger, a 32-year veteran of electoral and issue organizing who is committed to social justice and to increasing participation in the political process.
