The part im amazed about war reporters is when they die in war people think the reporter is being targeted. When all humans are targeted, that is why it is called War.

00:04 🎙 Women have been integral in war reporting for over a century, shaping the field and inspiring future generations. 01:51 🌍 Women's involvement in war reporting has significantly impacted the types of stories covered and the perspectives presented, shifting the narrative in significant ways. 03:58 📰 Female war reporters have made substantial contributions despite facing risks and dangers, highlighting civilian stories and shaping global perceptions of conflicts. 05:31 📹 Female journalists in conflict zones like Afghanistan highlighted diverse aspects beyond politics, focusing on civilian issues, women's rights, and everyday struggles. 08:45 🇺🇦 Women played a significant role in reporting on the Ukraine conflict, capturing human stories that connected global audiences to the realities of war. 09:49 🕊 Female journalists in Iran risk their lives to ensure the world sees and understands the protests and struggles against repressive regimes. 10:55 🛁 Women journalists in war zones deal with unique challenges and pressures while displaying equal toughness and resilience as their male counterparts. 11:59 📈 The number and confidence of female journalists in major war zones have substantially increased, impacting storytelling perspectives and emphasizing empathy and civilian stories. 13:08 💪 Female journalists bring a unique blend of empathy, strength, and courage, expanding the range of voices and stories emerging from war zones, fostering better global understanding.

Damn all these men here complaining didnt take absolutely anything away from the actual talk but not suprised because pretty sure they didnt listen to any of it either all she said is that finally now that women are breaking into this male dominated field they have given to it a newer persepective making it more humane and that this change is reflected in their male colleagues too and that by extension of this change war journalism is also changing. I dont know how you managed to interpret it as gender equality when it has nothing to be with that it is her experience and her inferences. And despite your 'hot takes' on the matter or you 'women ☕️' mentality shes still the one delivering the talk so the opinions that matter are hers :)

Great talk! Thanks.

As a great scientist once said: "We're not women in science, we're scientists"

Your topic is the best but your talking way is just wao, I really impressed what a style of talk you have.

Is there any reason why we should be surprised that women are as least as effective as men as war reporters? in which case what message is this talk trying to get across?

Exactly my thoughts. Gender has nothing to do with it. The competence of the person is what makes an impact. Their gender shouldn't be an issue.

@@austindenotter19 why do you feel the need to comment like that rather than engage in a constructive debate? Surely you're more intelligent than that. There's nothing wrong with having an opinion, but accusing someone for being wrong for having an opinion, is really poor.

We really do need to take gender out of the discussion on these kinds of topics. Any suggestion that something that improved is because of women, is quite frankly a back handed insult, bordering on being passive aggressive against men, and it's just so unnecessary. From personal experience having worked with both genders in the military and other organisations, over the last 26 years, when we quite rightly ignore gender, it makes for a far better and more productive team and a better work environment for there to be a mix. There was a period I was extensively involved in media ops, and had dealings with the likes of BBC, Sky News, Reuters, Associated Press and many more. I clearly remember that the team head of the Sky News team was female, the reporter was male.

@@Toopalaylay sad that you completely missed my point. Why is it about women? She admits herself early in her presentation that men vs women has been debated for a long time, so why continue it? Why not just focus on the impact and importance of war correspondents regardless of gender?

12:13 "...that harnesses our unique perspective and our own unique strengths. Now many of the things we may have feared in the past would be held against us; our compassion, our empathy, and our focus on civilian lives have become our greatest strengths." Am I understanding correctly that she's saying that compassion, empathy, and focus on civilians are uniquely female strengths? Continuing to push these narratives of "look how well this one gender is doing this one thing" perpetuates this feeling of division and encourages the "us vs them" mentality that is so incredibly prevalent today. I find myself thinking; "Yes *obviously* women can be sensational war correspondence journalists, why on earth do we need a TED talk about that?". Maybe I'm just really entrenched in my Western feminist mentality and some parts of the world will really appreciate this talk, but to me talking about compassion and empathy as uniquely female strengths feels like going backward more than forwards. These *people* risking their lives to show the world the brutal realities of what is going on in these parts of the world are heroes in their field. That should be the focus, not their genitals.

Well said.

Honestly, if she focused on the topic like the title is stating it, the TED talk would be far better. I feel like she has the need to prove herself as a woman in the field to the audience over and over again, its just unjustified that this is a gender debate again. It would have been way more interesting to hear about your life as war reporters in general, no matter if male or female. Like the shower situation, living conditions, fearing death, smuggling, accomplishments and such. Instead, she only scratches the surface to those very relevant aspects and makes it all about gender. „Look how awesome war reporting is because we women exist there!“. Feels a bit outdated and by BEING a woman holding the TED talk, she automatically draws attention to that there, in fact, are also female war reporters.

Wonderful speech

unfortunately, you didnt say the truth especially about Iran. they are more educated and have freedom more than you. you said not been there so how did you know.

I appreciate Kurdish coverage's early embrace of that

Sure you were, Jan.

Women are good in reporting , because they have extra ordinary skills which are god gifted such as gossiping and lying.
