Chris Hedge is a journalist and author. I have posted a couple of posting on him because he offers some interesting perspectives. He went to Harvard Divinity School before he became a war correspondent for the New York Times. I have seen some brilliant journalists who have devoted themselves to journalism while they could have chosen some other lucrative careers. I did my graduate work in journalism in the States.
From Jesse's Cafe:
Here is a slightly different look at Chris Hedges, as he discusses literature, journalism, and his memories as a war correspondent.
It has some remarkably good, sometimes poignant, moments and is well worth watching.
He has some hard words for Wall Street and the elite academic institutions that serve them en passant starting around minute 38.
I have also added a second appearance by Chris on the Bill Moyers show in which he discusses his more recent visits to American 'sacrifice zones.'
