Kevin Sites in the Hot Zone: interview

Solo journalist Kevin Sites spent a year travelling to conflict regions around the world, reporting for his own video/multimedia blog "Kevin Sites in the Hot Zone" on Yahoo. From Iraq to Lebannon to the Congo, he went straight to the heart of conflict and used online video to tell the stories he found there.

This is a short interview with him after a recent visit to Berkeley's journalism school. He talks about online video, the future of journalism, and his year in the 'hot zone.'

April 2009-- Is Kevin Sites still doing the Hot Zone on Yahoo? His past website is dead now. Has it changed? Or is he no longer doing this for Yahoo? Anyone know?

I didn't need this interview to know that Kevin Sites is doing important work at great personal risk. Props to Yahoo! as well for featuring his stories.

What he had to say was interesting. I think you should use a tripod though.
