Reflecting on how JAWS reacted to Sept. 11 and the impact of 9/11 on journalism. It changed how we needed to cover people worldwide "and cover them more respectfully," said NPR's Cheryl Hampton, a former JAWS president.
Edie Lederer transitions the conversation to the undercurrent of international issues at JAWS. Lederer talks about her reportage as a war correspondent at Vietnam and reportage by fellow JAWS member Tad Bartimus.
JAWS from the early years has had speakers focusing on international issues and women issues overseas, Lederer said. Kathy Bonk arranged video conferencing at some camps with voices telling stories from as far away as Beijing.
With us at this camp in Utah are women journalists from Mexico and the Phillipines.
