Interview with Andrea Backhaus, conflict reporter
We welcome Andrea Backhaus, an independent journalist from Germany whose courageous reporting on wars and conflicts has taken her from the Arab Spring in Egypt to the frontlines of the Israel-Palestine conflict.
Throughout our conversation, the word “anger” resonates—an anger towards the pervasive racism and sexism in mainstream media, and a profound drive to change the narrative surrounding war.
Andrea shares her journey into conflict reporting, emphasizing the need to amplify the voices of those affected by war, who are often reduced to mere statistics in the media.
During our inspiring discussion, Andrea offers practical advice for aspiring war reporters, touching on the importance of safety measures and mental health support, which remains a taboo topic in many newsrooms.
Please tune in to hear Andrea’s insights and reflections, and join us in advocating for a more inclusive and empathetic portrayal of conflict in the media.
