Listen: From War Reporter to Novelist

paul_harris-150x150.jpgToday's guest on the Morning Media Menu was Paul Harris, a journalist who has covered conflicts in Sierra Leone for Reuters and the Associated Press. He talked about foreign reporting and his debut novel, The Secret Keeper--a novel "inspired by his experiences in Africa, [full of] love and hate, excitement and distress."

Press play on the embedded player below to listen. The show will be archived around the mediabistro.com network all morning.

Here's an excerpt: "My advice to anyone looking to get into foreign corresponding these days (where newspapers are cutting back) is--if you are young enough and you can scrape together enough cash, just do it. You'll regret not doing it, rather than doing it, even if it doesn't pay off. Take the risk and go for it."

The show was hosted by GalleyCat editor Jason Boog and AgencySpy editor Matt Van Hoven. You can listen to all the past podcasts archived at mediabistro.com or download episodes for free on iTunes. Click here to download the MP3 version.
