Episode Synopsis

What does it mean to draw violence? What does it take to report from conflict zones? What are the stakes of journalism in today's times?

In early November, Editor-in-Chief, Srijana Siri and Arts&Culture Editor, Giya Sood spoke to Joe Sacco, a journalist who has reported from Palestine, Canada, Bolivia and India for over thirty years. His reportage is a testament to journalistic integrity and ethics.

With The Edict, Sacco spoke about his childhood, reporting experiences and his process of drawing and writing his books. Sacco does not simply recount his reportage, he inhabits it and reconstructs it—taking the reader on a journey of introspection.
