Kosovo: a War of Words ... and Pictures
Jane Corbin reports from
Macedonia in a special edition of the foreign-affairs programme that sees how journalists are coping with the Balkan situation.
In a war dominated by propaganda and rhetoric, and with reportage restricted in key danger areas, factual evidence of events has often been slow to filter through. Journalists working for publications on all sides explain how they have been reporting the war, and the difficulties they have faced in conveying their version of events.
Those featured include Toma,
Yugoslavia's most famous war photographer, who stands on a high roof in Belgrade waiting for Nato's bombs to drop without knowing whether his family will be alive or dead in the morning. The film also traces the progress of the staff at Pristina's main newspaper, who have fled Serb forces in Kosovo and set up an office in exile in Macedonia. Producer David Akerman ; Editor
