Remembering Slain Journalist James Foley

“James Foley was passionate about reporting from conflict zones and finding stories that may have otherwise gone untold.
The missing U.S. journalist, who was apparently beheaded in Syria, tweeted about other journalists who were held captive, while continuing to bring the realities of war-torn regions to the world.
”It’s part of the problem with these conflicts,” Foley said during a forum at Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism in 2011. “We’re not close enough to it and if reporters, if we don’t try to get really close to what these guys ...we don’t understand the world, essentially.””
