A conversation with Kathy Gannon, veteran Associated Press correspondent who was shot and seriously wounded in Afghanistan in 2014 in an attack by an Afghan policeman in which her AP colleague, photographer Anja Niedringhaus, was killed. Gannon will be keynote speaker earlier Monday at the annual rededication of the Newseum’s Journalists Memorial. Gannon, a Canadian journalist, has reported on Afghanistan and Pakistan for the AP since mid-1980s. She is a former Edward R. Murrow Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York and the author of a book “I Is for Infidel: From Holy War to Holy Terror: 18 Years Inside Afghanistan.“
“Journalism/Works” is an ongoing program of the Newseum Institute that focuses on journalism that matters — news reports in print, broadcast and online that produce change, provide insight and that fulfill the “watchdog on government” mission envisioned for a free press in the First Amendment.
Kathy was interviewed by Gene Policinski from the Newseum.
