The cost of covering war

Broadcast: Midmorning, 11/27/2007, 9:06 a.m.

War takes a toll on the people who immerse themselves in it, the reporters and photographers who chronicle strife. Janine di Giovanni has spent time in many war-torn places: Sarajevo, Gaza, Iraq. She talks about how covering war changes perspectives and how having a family helps her balance the grimness of her profession.
