CBS News correspondent Lara Logan inspired No Woman’s Land – On the Frontlines With Female Reporters and also wrote its foreword. The book, published in March by the International News Safety Institute, is a collection of articles written by 40 women from a dozen countries who have covered conflict, disasters, corruption and civil unrest around the world.
INSI says this is the first book dedicated to the safety of women journalists and that the idea arose from the brutal sexual attack on Logan while she was reporting in Cairo. Other contributors to the book include the BBC’s Lyse Doucet and Caroline Wyatt, CNN’s Hala Gorani, Fox News’s Jennifer Griffin, Al Jazeera’s Zeina Awad and the former Egyptian state TV anchor Shahira Amin. “The stories tell of the risks and the safety measures these women must take to get the story,” said INSI Deputy Director Hannah Storm, who compiled and edited the book with her colleague Helena Williams.
