An inspiring journalist

Here is a fantastic hour long radio program called Ideas on CBC, hosted by Paul Kennedy. This one is a podcast of Stephanie Nolen, foreign correspondent for the Globe and Mail, delivering the 2010 Dalton Camp lecture in Journalism. It's worth listening to, even if you don't get to it in one sitting.
Be warned though, many of the stories she relays are difficult to listen to and some in fact had me in tears, particularly the women from the Democratic Republic of Congo sharing their experiences of rape as it was used as a weapon during the conflict there. But they are important stories, real stories and they are human stories that we should know about. And Stephanie is great to listen to and inspiring not only as a journalist, but as a caring person in the world.
