Lynsey Addario in ‘Love+War’: A War Photographer’s Life on the Front Lines and at Home - Nieman Reports

I think Paul comes across really well. He is happy with the film because he is, in some ways, the hero. He is the one who carries the load. He's Scandinavian, which is important to note, because [he comes from] a very egalitarian society where men get the same paternity leave as women. I think that for Paul, he doesn't question his masculinity or himself [when] he decided to be a full-time parent and let me work. But when people see the film, it's kind of shocking to see that role reversal.  I t...

Welcome to the Dissident Club - Nieman Reports

In addition to running the bar, Siddiqui continues to speak out on press freedom, Pakistani politics, and the challenges of living in exile. His recently published graphic memoir, “The Dissident Club,” recounts his journey from a strict Islamist upbringing in Saudi Arabia and Pakistan to his career as a journalist and the beginnings of his life in Paris. Curious and questioning as a child, Siddiqui often clashed with the dogma of his family’s fundamentalist beliefs — tensions that he says pushed...

“You Must Stand Up”: Amanda Becker on Chronicling the Fallout of Roe v. Wade's Reversal - Nieman Reports

When journalist Amanda Becker first read a leaked draft of the Supreme Court decision on ending constitutional protections for abortion, she instantly knew she wanted to chronicle the historic moment when the ruling was handed down. This ultimately led to her new book, “You Must Stand Up,” which documents how abortion access has been dramatically restricted or forced into legal limbo in states across the U.S. after the overturning of Roe v. Wade.Becker, a 2023 Nieman Fellow, is a political repor...

‘We are Keen to Keep Listening to People and Let Their Voices Be Heard All Over the World’ - Nieman Reports

The stakes could not be higher with more than 36,000 dead, 83,000 wounded, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, and nearly two million Palestinians displaced within the 41-kilometer-long strip of land. In late March, a U.N. report said famine is imminent in northern Gaza, where 70% of the population is already suffering with “catastrophic” food shortages due to difficulties in aid deliveries getting past the border. Since then, the situation has gotten worse, according to World Health Organiza...

Colleges Need to Take Asian American Studies Seriously

In the spring of 2021, Hannah Kang, a junior at Fordham University’s Lincoln Center campus, took a course on race and graphic-novel narratives. Kang, who is half Korean, said the class was life changing. “It made me realize how late I am to [engage] with this part of my identity,” she told Teen Vogue, admitting she wished more courses like this were available to her as a freshman.“It was very emotionally, psychologically, jarring in a lot of ways, because I saw a lot of my experiences reflected...

An Antidote to the Minimization of the Long Covid Crisis - Nieman Reports

In the last year or so, I've become increasingly frustrated with the mainstream media coverage on it. I had a lot of story ideas that I just couldn't do, that I would be pitching and just get “no’s” or that I would pitch a feature and have it work out to be a short news story that I felt didn't really capture the full scope of the issue I wanted to write about. Between that and the changes in Covid data collection that were impacting my projects, it felt like a good time to shift. And so I asked...

Russian anti-war YouTubers: What happens when your government doesn't allow dissent?

This week, Endless Thread spends time talking with two young Russian YouTubers who've had to contend with Russia's crackdown on wartime dissent.

Natasha and Zack initially gained traction on YouTube for their videos about Russian food, culture, and daily life. Their slice-of-life vlogs became a huge hit, getting millions of views with each upload. But when Russia invaded Ukraine one year ago, both Zack and Natasha had to make tough decisions to stand by their values — which ultimately altered t...
