Jeremy Bowen presents stories from the frontlines of conflict– and journalism itself.

Today’s journalists are no longer seen as non-combatants in battles – be they in real war zones or engaging in political and cultural reporting.

For the past four decades BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen has reported from the frontlines of some of the most complex, contentious and contested conflicts in the world.

Now he reflects back on some of the most difficult stories he’s covered, and speaking with other journalists from around the world, explores some of the obstacles that get in the way of what the Watergate reporter Carl Bernstein described as 'the best obtainable version of the truth'.
