This week we're airing an interview that Brooke did while on a fellowship at the American Academy in Rome. She and her husband Fred Kaplan (author of the War Stories column in Slate),\xa0sat down with\xa0Mark Hannah, host of the podcast "None of the Above," produced by the\xa0Eurasia Group Foundation.\xa0

From the Crimean War of 1853 to Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine this year, journalists, reporters, and the media have shaped the public\u2019s understanding of war. But do the stories we read and the photos we see provide an impartial picture of the wars they document? As\xa0Hannah\xa0explained in\xa0Foreign Policy,\xa0certain aspects of American war coverage\u2014reliance on government sources and incentives to simplify geopolitics as battles between good and evil\u2014have long compelled news organizations to tilt toward military action.

This interview originally aired on\xa0May 18, 2022.
