Audio Slideshow – Into the Swat valley, Declan Walsh

Declan Walsh is a decent reporter and he’s also got a good eye for a photograph (or a nice camera). His delivery in this Guardian audio slideshow might not be all that, but he keeps you hanging in there with a strong story.

And whilst I agree with David’s thoughts about the power of Marco Vernaschi’s photographs in the last post, Declan proves that almost anywhere you’ll find a balance of light and dark. Sometimes the light is barely traceable, like looking at a star that is no longer there, but journalists do humanity no favours when they shut the door on it.
