Clarissa Ward is one of the world's most daring journalists. She was the only Western correspondent in Kabul after the Taliban returned, and the only one to get a story from Gaza.
She participated in the investigation of Navalny's poisoning and was the first to knock on the door of one of the poisoners. Clarissa covered the wars in Iraq, Syria, and Ukraine.
In the interview, Clarissa talks about the work of a journalist in this broken world. About how to tell the truth when people think there is no truth. How did it happen that Kabul is now safer than Moscow? Why do people hate liberal media? Why do we need journalists at all if there are bloggers and activists? What war in the last two decades was the most difficult to cover? Should a journalist be objective? And how will the war in Ukraine develop if Trump wins the election?
