Rolling Blackouts: Dispatches from Turkey, Syria, and Iraq by Sarah Glidden

3.0

I have deeply mixed feelings on this book. On the one hand, I love the idea of getting a behind the scenes look at global reporting and a snapshot of the Middle East in 2010. On the other hand, I'm not interested at all in her operative question ("what is journalism for?"). And one of the main subjects (the other sarah) is the archetype of your most annoying liberal friend - convinced her rightness while also convinced of her neutrality and impartiality. By the end I was rooting for at least one of her projects to "fail."
