What is it like to report on the front lines of war? Jackie Spinner and Kevin Tibbles know that answer all too well.
Spinner previously served as the Baghdad bureau chief for the Washington Post during the Iraq War and would sleep with a helmet over her head amid bombings. Tibbles recently retired as a domestic and foreign correspondent for NBC. He was with NBC for more than 25 years and went to cover wars around the world.
Spinner and Tibbles join host Carol Marin to share what life as a war correspondent is like and what young journalists who may aspire to follow in their footsteps need to know. Produced by Justin Myers with music by Max Duggan. "So You Want to be a Reporter" is a project of DePaul University's Center for Journalism Integrity & Excellence.
