Fisk was on his way to Santa Fe for a sold-out appearance in the Lannan Foundation's readings-and-conversations series Wednesday night. According to Christie Mazuera Davis, a Lannan program officer, Fisk was told that his papers were not in order. Davis made last-minute arrangements Wednesday for Amy Goodman, host of Pacifica Radio's daily news show, Democracy Now!, to interview Fisk via satellite from a television station in Toronto. He appeared on a large screen onstage at the Lensic Performing Arts Center. The controversial British journalist, who is based in Beirut, filed many eyewitness reports on the U.S. invasion of Iraq and criticized Western reporters for " hotel journalism , " a phrase he coined to describe correspondents who covered the war from heavily fortified hotel suites and offices. http://www.freenewmexican.com/news/32812.html -- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
