Jane Ferguson worked as a war correspondent for PBS NewsHour and The New York Times. In this episode, Jane shares her unique experiences as a journalist, including being the only foreign journalist in Yemen and catching the last plane out of Kabul after the Taliban took power.  She talks about the excitement of being on the front lines, where history was being made and about the ethical dilemmas of her profession. She discusses her ability to confront fear and the importance of proving oneself in the field. Jane recently published “No Ordinary Assignment”, an extraordinary book about why she became a war journalist and what she was attempting to achieve.
