Listen "Episode 49: Photojournalism In Times Of War with Thorne Anderson"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, Susan speaks with Thorne Anderson, Associate Professor and Mayborn Endowed Chair for Multimedia Storytelling in UNT's Mayborn School of Journalism.
When he took a job in southeastern Europe after graduate school, Thorne had no desire to work inside an active warzone. "I didn't go looking for the war, but the war sort of came to me," he tells Susan. Seeing how the growing conflict in Kosovo was affecting his new colleagues and friends, Professor Anderson became determined to understand the war on a personal level. This launched him on a career path that would take him into the heart of several wars in Europe and the Middle East. As Thorne explains to Susan, he had to quickly develop special skills to protect himself so that he could capture images showing the impact of each conflict on everyday civilians. He also describes the ethical dilemmas that photojournalists face when doing this kind of work. Finally, he tells Susan about the difficulty he experienced readjusting to life back home and explains why he transitioned into multimedia storytelling.
