Kevin Sites interview on NPR Tuesday

Xeni Jardin 6:31 pm Mon May 9, 2005

NPR's Alex Chadwick interviewed blogger and combat correspondent Kevin Sites here in LA today. Their conversation will air on tomorrow's edition of the program Day to Day. I was present in the control room during the taping, and this was a pretty amazing exchange about the future of media, the responsibilities of reporters, and exactly what happened before, during, and after the so-called "Fallujah mosque shooting." This will be the first interview Sites has done in American broadcast media since the incident. From the show preview:

His footage of a U.S. Marine shooting and killing an injured Iraqi in a Fallujah mosque caused an international outcry and led to a military investigation. That Marine was cleared of any wrongdoing last week.

Link to show home. Archived audio — and some never-before-aired video — will be online Tuesday after 12PM PT. This is one not to miss. (disclosure: I wasn't involved in production of this interview, but I'm a contributor to the show. I also helped Sites create and maintain his blog)
