This program begins with the statement that more correspondents and reporters have lost their lives during 18 months of covering the conflict in the former Yugoslavia, than in the whole 14 years of the Vietnam war. Journalists from BBC Radio, Reuters, The Guardian, BBC TV, The Independent, the Daily Telegraph, CNN, The Observer, El Pais, ABC TV, and ITN TV explain difficulties associated with understanding and reporting on this complex conflict, including how journalists cope with the physical danger and the fear they encounter while working on their assignments.
