The media can be the greatest force for peace on Earth. Instead, all too often, it’s wielded as a weapon of war. That's why we have to take the media back. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. With your contribution, we can continue to go to where the silence is, to bring you the voices of the silenced majority – those calling for peace in a time of war, demanding action on the climate catastrophe and advocating for racial and economic justice. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much!

Moscow correspondent for the French newspaper Libération. Her book, Chienne de Guerre: A Woman Reporter Behind the Lines of the War in Chechnya (Public Affairs, 2001), tells of how she managed to do what almost no other journalists have done: She covered the war in Chechnya from within Chechnya. Dressed as a Chechen woman, she traveled with civilians, her satellite phone strapped to her belly. She spent the winter of 1999-2000 in Chechnya, surviving the height of the war, and left only when the Russian Federal Security Services detained her. She returned to Chechnya several times and was there in June of this year.
