Sydney Writers' Festival: Covering the Globe: Global Roaming LIVE

For international correspondents, their job is going into conflict zones or sites of political turmoil to report on events from a local perspective.

In this way, they provide invaluable information for global audiences in the present and for the future. In this live recording of Festival favourite ABC Radio National’s Global Roaming, hosts Geraldine Doogue and Hamish Macdonald discuss the work of two career international correspondents and writers, former bureau chief for the Los Angeles Times in Beijing and Seoul Barbara Demick (Daughters of the Bamboo Grove) and the BBC's Chief International Correspondent Lyse Doucet (The Finest Hotel in Kabul).

Join Barbara and Lyse for a fascinating conversation with Geraldine and Hamish.
