AsiaMedia Event: A World of Conflict

AsiaMedia presents veteran war reporter Kevin Sites' documentary about Yahoo!'s international experiment in online journalism

Friday, April 27, 2007
7 - 8:30 PM
James Bridges Theater
Melnitz Hall, UCLA Campus
Los Angeles, CA 90095

Please RSVP to erwin.c.ong@gmail.com.

As Yahoo!'s first news correspondent, Sites helped pioneer solo journalism, working completely alone, traveling and reporting for Kevin Sites in the Hot Zone across Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America. Instead of reporting with a crew, he carried a backpack of portable digital technology to shoot, write, edit and transmit multimedia reports.

In November 2004, Sites became a flashpoint of controversy for one of the biggest stories of the current war in Iraq. As an NBC News correspondent, he videotaped a U.S. Marine shooting a wounded Iraqi insurgent in a Falluja mosque.

The screening of A World of Conflict will be followed by a Q&A with Kevin Sites and a coffee reception.
