Reporting from Iran: Risks, Access, and the Realities of War Coverage

The Poynter Report features an interview with Frederik Pleitgen, Senior Correspondent for CNN International, who discusses the challenges of reporting in Iran during an ongoing conflict. He describes the difficulty of gaining access to restricted areas, working under surveillance, and reporting amid constant airstrikes, all while having limited internet access. Pleitgen also reflects on the human impact of war, sharing how civilians cope with fear and uncertainty, and how covering these events leaves a lasting emotional impact on journalists.
