Episode 276: Azmat Khan

Published: Jan. 10, 2018, 6:17 p.m.

b'Azmat Khan is an investigative reporter and a contributing writer to The New York Times Magazine.\\n\\n "For me, what matters most is systematic investigation, and I think that\\u2019s different than an investigative story that might explore one case. It\\u2019s about stepping back and understanding the big picture and getting to the heart of something. It doesn\\u2019t have to be a number\\u2019s game, but being able to say: Look, I looked at a wide enough sample of whatever this issue is, and here is what this tells us. That is what I crave and love the most."\\n\\nThanks to MailChimp and Barkbox for sponsoring this week\'s episode.\\n@azmatzahra\\nazmatzahra.com\\nKhan on Longform\\n[00:05] Coin Talk\\n[01:55] Longform Podcast #125: Anand Gopal\\n[01:55] "The Uncounted" (Azmat Khan, Anand Gopal \\u2022 New York Times Magazine \\u2022 Nov 2017)\\n[02:35] "Targeting ISIS, and Killing Civilians" (Michael Barbaro \\u2022 The Daily \\u2022 Nov 2017)\\n[02:35] "Counting Civilian Casualties in Iraq" (Michael Barbaro \\u2022 The Daily \\u2022 Nov 2017)\\n[02:35] "The Unpaid Price of Civilian Casualties" (Michael Barbaro \\u2022 The Daily \\u2022 Nov 2017)\\n[03:05] Longform Podcast #265: Michael Barbaro\\n[26:25] "Ghost Students, Ghost Teachers, Ghost Schools" (BuzzFeed \\u2022 July 2015)\\n[31:35] "An Accounting for the Uncounted" (Robert Malley, Stephen Pomper \\u2022 The Atlantic \\u2022 Dec 2017)\\n[34:10] "When War Comes Close to Home" (Zareena Grewal \\u2022 NYTimes \\u2022 Oct 2015)\\n[52:40] "The Bombing of Al-Bara" (Frontline \\u2022 Nov 2015)\\n[53:15] No Good Men Among the Living: America, the Taliban, and the War through Afghan Eyes (Anand Gopal \\u2022 Metropolitan Books \\u2022 2014)\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
