I recently came across this interview with Kevin Sites, conducted for YouTube’s new political vlog Citizen Tube. Who’s Kevin you ask?

“As one of the world’s most respected war correspondents, Kevin Sites has spent the past five years covering global war and disaster for several national networks. Sites helped pioneer solo journalism, working completely alone, traveling, and reporting without a crew.” — from In The Hot Zone

He’s got some interesting words about his own experiences in the world’s war zones, as well as the hope for citizen journalists to change the world.
